Deleting unnecessary audio data
from a song
In addition to audio data for a track, a song may also contain
"unused" audio data. When a track is overwritten in this unit, the
overwritten audio data is not erased, but remains on the SD card.
Audio data that has been completely overwritten is "unused"
audio data.
As shown in the illustration, if old audio data is not completely
overwritten by new audio data, old audio data cannot be
deleted.

"Unused" old audio data in any virtual track that has not been
assigned to a physical track can also be deleted. (See “Virtual
tracks” on page 47.)
Follow these procedures to delete "unused" audio data and
create room on the SD card for additional storage (this operation
cannot be undone).
