Deleting Files

[brandun_6]

When you delete a file using Rockbox how do you delete that file off of your iPod?

Um.

It just gets deleted.  Unless I'm mistaken, it IS gone.  I delete all my podcasts while listening to them from the Rockbox file browser, and they're gone when I do.

I don't understand the question. When you delete the file, it is deleted. It's gone. It no longer exists.

Perhaps the OP is looking for a "Recycle Bin" on the player for items that get deleted by Rockbox?  As far as I am aware, there is none and when the item is deleted, it's gone (altho, could a file recovery program restore it?).

II have my Rockbox music on a seperate folder on E:/ and when I deleted a song it turned into a file that Windows say Cannnot Read From Source File or something like that.

"Something like that" is not very helpful in telling us what it's actually telling you.

Oooooooooo k now I'm confused......I right clicked on the file to delete it and see what it say but I mistakedly clicked "Cut" then I deleted it and it went away......but thanks for the help.

Deleting from windows could quite easily create some sort of recycle bin folder or something.  I remember windows 95 would create a recycle bin on every drive to hold the files you delete.

Very annoying.

Yup

It's all stored in a folder called "Deleted" that's hidden through windows. It gets automatically created whenever you delete something unless you disable it.
The same is true for "System Volume Information" and System Restore.

Here's two posts about stopping both of these folders from cluttering up your player.
