Deleting a program

You can delete an unnecessary program individually. To make recording or editing, a certain amount of disk space is needed. By deleting unnecessary programs, the available disk space increases.

<Notes>

•When only one program (P01) exists, if you try to delete the program, the data in the program is deleted but P01 remains.

•For example, when five programs (P01 through P05) exist, if you delete P03, it looks like P05 is deleted. This is because the program numbers higher than 03 move down. In other words, P04 and P05 become P03 and P04 respectively.
