My SDS200 audio recordings filled the available space on the SD card. I deleted the files using Windows File Explore but, when I try to enable recording, the scanner reads the card is full. This was the first time I recorded things and I am not sure how to mass delete them.

Just curious, if you put the card back in and open it in widows explorer, does it show the recordings are still there?

This was the first time I recorded things and I am not sure how to mass delete them.

When I delete my recordings I open in windows explorer and navigate to the 2 folders (inner and user I believe) that pertain to recordings. I select all and delete. Then I empty my PC's recycle bin since that's where it put them when it deleted them off the SD card.

Then you have a very special setup as deleting files from a SD card doesn't normally make them appear in the recycle bin. That's what differ SD cards from harddrives. You will have to use a recovery program to undelete them on the SD card if you did a mistake deleteing them. As SD cards do not overwrite previous deleted memory cells, it always move on to the next cell, there's a high probability to recover deleted files.

You have to delete all folders in audio/user_rec, there's 100 files in each, and not just the files. I believe that there's a max number of folders that it can handle. Click once on the first folder, hold down the shift key and click once on the last folder and then right click on the mouse and select delete or simply use the PC keyboards delete key.
