This is probably painfully obvious, but the solution eludes
me and it is most frustrating. After installing Rockbox
V. 2.0 on my Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 (OS rom is V.
1.28, model JBR20101), I was really digging all of the
subtleties of your firmware. But when I tried to delete
the old mp3’s that had been on there, so I could load all
fresh tracks to enjoy with the superior interface, the old
files were just moved to a recycled folder on the mp3
player, not deleted. To add to the frustration, the
several hundred files were renamed sequentially - rec1,
rec2… (or something like that). Those renamed files
would play just fine, but I couldn’t tell what was what
from the filenames. After several fruitless experiments -
nothing too drastic, mind you - I have somehow ended
up with just 2 files (showing) in the recycle bin:
desktop.ini, and info2. What the heck? And the
recycle folder does NOT appear on my monitor when I
dock to my desktop computer! (But when I tried to
create a new recycled folder while docked, as an
experiment, it was not allowed bc it said the folder
already exists. Yet a ‘search’ on the same screen said
no such folder or file was present…) Meanwhile,
the ‘info’ option shows that the 10+ gig of files that I
was originally trying to delete are still there, with only
8.3 of 18.6 gig of hard drive space free. (Also, please,
why only 18.6, if it is supposed to be 20 gig?) I really
want to straighten this out, and to get the optimal use
out of this monster. Please help! THANK YOU. My
email is psikohsis@hotmail.com. Any advice is most
welcome. (Perhaps I am not the only user to have this
dilemma?)
