Tips: Restoring a deleted file

A deleted file still remains on the disk as a hidden file, therefore, you can restore a deleted file. See "Restoring a deleted audio file" on the next page.

When selecting an audio file using the file select function, the deleted file is shown on the display as "<<Hidden File>>". The display example below shows that audio file 008 which has been deleted still remains on the disk as a hidden file.

<Note>

If you optimize the disk when any deleted audio file is hidden, the hidden audio file is completely deleted from the disk and you cannot restore the file anymore.

If you select the completely deleted file using the file select function, "<<Deleted File>>" is shown, instead of "<<Hidden File>>", indicating that the file is completely deleted.

Tips:

If you delete all the (two) "Tape mode" audio files on a disk formatted in the Tape mode and then optimize the disk, the disk becomes equivalent to the one formatted in the "Normal" mode.
