So, when i trie to delete mp3-files with FExplorer, it says system error. With file manager it says that access denied. i have booted and booted without MMC but no help.

how can i change them to be not readonly-files?

is it possible, that i've got this problem beacause when i was listening the song with mp3go, i pressed "exit" straight from the menu, and i didn't press "stop" before "exit".

Right... the system may think that file is still open/being used. It is not possible to delete open files. Even such a dumb OS as Windows will not let you do so.

[quote="ST@RR"]why don't you try stopping it and removing it from playlist?[/quote]

Tried allready... no help..

wow... I can't think of any solution except putting your MMC in the reader and see if you can delete the mp3 file there. Sorry.

I think it could be something with filesize... It does it every time if the mp3 is bigger than ~4MB... Weird...

hm...why dun u try deleting it from the pc suite programme?just go find the file and right click-delete..haha...i works for mi when i can't delete an image file....just try if u hav pc suite...it might work! 😉

I've tried. It says that some other program is using it.

If you can't delete it with the Suite, which seems weird, delete/uninstall mp3go.
When it tells you another prog is using the file, mp3go must be the one .
So, out it goes, delete the file then back in with the mp3go.
IMHO.
Hope it helps.
