Album not being deleted from 645M

So I know that handling music on the 645M may be a work in progress (I hope so, anyway!) but does anyone have a fix for a random album which is showing on the watch, but not in Garmin Express or in the file structure when using an MTP compatible app on my Mac (Commander One Pro). Although the album / artist / tracks are shown in the watch list, they're not playable. I've tried restarting the watch and deleting everything from within Express but nothing will shift it. Before I reset the watch to factory settings, does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
  • Similar problem, although I have something showing in Garmin Express which wont budge. When trying to delete it it says 'There was an error saving your changes'.
  • I have the exact same problem. Album appears on the watch. Not playable. And I can't delete it. I posted about it here like a month ago but no one had a solution for this problem.

    If you are not able to delete an album or other media files from the watch/Garmin Express, we would encourage you to reach out to us directly. Our Product Support team will want to collect Garmin Express logs and information about the music files in order to look at this further. Please contact our Product Support teams directly for further assistance.
  • So Garmin-Joey, I did what you suggested and 6 days later I'm still waiting for any reply. Not impressed to be honest...is there anything else I can do to escalate this?
  • I’ve had the same problem with music appearing but not playing. My observations by reading various posts is that its Mac users that encounter this problem and it may have something to do with MTP mode. The only fix I’ve found, and it’s not convenient, was to reset the watch to factory, delete it from Garmin Express and start over. I’d really like to see a response from Garmin on this issue, please post the response here if you get one.
  • tn5280 what mtp software do you use on the Mac?

    I use iTunes to manage media and Garmin Express for transfer. If someone has a different/better method for use on the Mac, I'd welcome suggestions.
  • I have reached out to our Forerunner team to investigate your reports here. Apologies for the slow email response. I will make sure we collect the information. Thanks for the feedback.
  • Hi Shawn - I'm in touch with the team and have been sending information to help in diagnosing my issue. It does look like that email is not being monitored though.
