Deleting Data Files

Deleting files from the iPod when it’s impersonating a hard drive is just like erasing them from any other kind of disk: just drag them to the Trash or Recycle Bin— or use keyboard shortcuts, like the Delete key in Windows or Deleting Data Files-Delete on Macintosh—and empty it.

Just remember that this isn’t how you delete songs. You delete songs in iTunes.

Note

Don’t use a disk utility program like Drive Setup or Norton Utilities to erase the iPod’s data files. You could damage its music-playing powers—and then be stuck having to reformat the drive with the iPod software installer and then copy all of your songs over again.
