Cannot delete music off e280

[jasper]

I cannot delete music off my e280 using rockbox.  Also when I update the data base it has repeated song/artist adding and taking more memory.  I have read several posts on how to delete music, but it doesn't seem to go to these screens.  I use windows media player to put music on the player, but also can't get music to delete when I try and go through that.  I need some computer illiterate instructions on how to delete music off my sandisk sansa e280 , (I believe it's an R model).  Do I use the pc or can I do it just from the mp3 player itself.  Also, is there a way to keep the mp3 player from repeating copies of the same song already on the player when updated? 
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Your Rockboxed player just behaves as a UMS device.  You can employ any appropriate methods to delete files on it (e.g. browse and delete files using a file browser).  You can also delete files using Rockbox's own file browser.

Regarding duplicate entries in the database, there is an open bug here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8414

Check the comments near the end for some settings that seem to provide a workaround for people.

You can delete directly through rockbox by highlighting the directory, holding the center button and then select "delete directory"

In rockbox (assuming you have a up to date build) you can click on the file then delete it (http://www.ehow.com/how_2023687_delete-files-sansa.html) 
Get Mp3 tag or Media Monkey (Search Google) to help sort out you music and tags as they may be the things causing the problems.
NB I don't think the Rockbox Admins will appreciate you asking 'basic' computer questions about deleting that could be done using search (I could be wrong though).

I love that you of all people are telling him this
