Hi Bobbie, Yes... You can treat the Flash Drive like any other storage device with regards to adding or deleting files. There are a number of ways to delete all of the data on the Flash Drive... Method 1 ------------- a) Plug In your Flash Drive b) Open Windows Explorer c) Find the Flash Drive Folder (i.e. it may be D: or E: or F:, etc...) d) Click ONCE on the Flash Drive Folder e) All of the data on the Flash Drive will now appear in the Right Window f) Select all of the Files and Folders in the Right Window and Hit the DELETE Key Method 2 ------------- If you really do not want the data on the Flash Drive you can erase all of the data by formatting the drive... a) Plug In your Flash Drive b) Open Windows Explorer c) Find the Flash Drive Folder (i.e. it may be D: or E: or F:, etc...) d) Right Click on the Flash Drive Folder e) Accept the defaults (i.e. Capacity: <<size of your Flash Drive>>; File System: FAT) f) Click on the START button Be VERY CAREFUL that you are selecting the Flash Drive and BE SURE you have backed up any information you may need on the Flash Drive. Hope this helps... Regards, Kevin. On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 12:08 PM, Bobbie <bcsmith@centurytel.net> wrote: > > Sorry, hit the wrong thing.
