The DijonStock Digital Home Recording Support Forum

Hello everyone
I've had my 16g for about 8 years
dont ask me why its taken so long to join , but hey better late than never .
A quick one for you all, How do i unprotect songs and delete them?
Thanks Daz Bungo!

Go to the SONG-SETUP screen and the PROTECT "button" is on the right side. Probably cursor to it and press ENTER to change its state. See page 139 in the manual.

Use SONG-LIST screen to DELETE a song. See page 140 in manual.

Welcome to the forum!

I have a similar question: I have ONE song that refuses to be deleted. It is not song "protected". I make sure a different song is loaded, scroll and hi-lite the song that's to be deleted, and hit delete. The AW16G looks like it is going thru the motions to remove it but when it's done, the song is still there. The TRACKS are still visible in the track menu. I tried OPTIMIZING the song first, but there it is, still looking at me! All other songs are deleted very easily.

does that song behave normally in other ways when it is the current song? Could you Delete all the tracks and then see if the empty shell remains recalcitrant??

A reformat would do the trick too, I'd guess.

Let us know how it goes.

Have you unplugged the unit for about a minute and rechecked?

It's really weird! I unplugged the unit for about 10 minutes, tried to delete, still there. I erased all the tracks, tried to delete, still there. I guess it's no big deal, I can just leave it there, but I thought it was mighty strange. Maybe because I have the word "disease" in the song title!!

did you ERASE all the tracks through EDIT or did you DELETE them. There is a difference. Erase leaves the space they occupied intact. delete moves the start and end points to the parameters as they were set in the command instruction.

When you used Erase or Delete did they actually go away? Then leaving an empty shell? And that empty song shell will not leave?

There are also naming protocols. You could try renaming the song with something such as Song1. ???

Have you tried backing up the project to disc ( you are on a G??). Will it backup as expected?

Back up all important projects and then reformat. That would be Robbie's advice i suspect!!!

Got to be a work around!

There's only one remedy... reformat. Takes 5 seconds.
