Erasing files/folders

Erasing a folder

1Select the folder you want to erase (P.24).

2In the folder display screen, press the ERASE button while the voice recorder is in stop mode.

The voice recorder returns to the stopped mode if no operation is performed for 8 seconds.

3Press the + button to select [Start].

4Press the `OK button.

[Erasing!] appears in the display, and the erasing process starts. [Erased] appears when the process has finished.

NOTE

Files cannot be restored after being erased, so please check carefully before erasing a file.

When there is a microSD in the voice recorder, be sure to check whether the recording media being erased is [Internal memory] or [microSD card] (P.77).

Locked files and read-only files cannot be erased (P.61).

The voice recorder’s default [Recorder] folders ([FolderA] to [FolderE], and [FM Radio]* folder) and [Music] folder cannot be erased.

* WS-823 model only

[Music] folder subfolders other than the [Music] can be erased.

Files unrecognizable to the voice recorder will not be erased, nor will folders containing these files. The voice recorder must be connected to a PC to erase these files and folders.

Before erasing a file or folder, charge or replace the battery to ensure it will not run out before the process has finished. Erasing processes can take over 10 seconds to complete. To prevent the risk of damage to data, never attempt to perform any of the following processes before an erasing process has finished :

1 Disconnecting the AC adapter

2 Removing the battery

3 Removing the microSD card (if the recording media has been set to [microSD card]).
