5.4. Deleting a file or folder

Milestone 212 Ace allows you to erase files and folders directly without a connection to the 
computer. This can be done in one of the following 3 ways:

• Delete one file:

Play the file you would like to delete. During playback, hold down the “Mode” button and 
briefly press “Play”. The file will be erased when you let go of the buttons. You can delete 
a file either during playback or while in pause mode.

• Delete files in one direction: 

Pause playback and then press the three buttons „Mode“, „Play“ and „Right arrow“ for at 
least two seconds, to delete all following files, including the currently active one. To erase 
all previous voice messages and the one currently active, press „Mode“, „Play“ and „Left 
arrow“ at the same time for at least two seconds. At the start of the deleting process you 
will hear a long beep, followed by an erasing sound when the operation is complete.

• Delete a folder:

Select the folder you would like to delete. While holding down “Mode”, press the “Play” 
button. Keep the „Mode“ button pressed and confirm erasing by pressing “Play” again 
after 3 seconds. Finally, let go of the “Mode” button. Please note that deleting large 
folders may take a couple of seconds. This process is accompanied by a ticking sound 
and completed after an erasing sound.
