Whether I delete a playlist through Garmin Express or even through Windows (explorer, etc.), they do not delete from the watch. They will no longer show in Garmin Express but when I go to playlists in the watch, they still show up. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else run into this?
I had been trying to do this for a while but after a few runs at it, I was able to delete music off my VA4 properly.
This is the process which worked for me in the end, although I think I got lucky.
I wear the watch with the two buttons facing to the right if i am looking at the screen
Using Garmin express, deleted all the music off the watch. Once this was done went back to the main garmin express screen and sync'ed.
I then fully closed garmin express, opened Android File Transfer and made sure the music was deleted.
I ejected the watch, saw that there was still "ghosts" of my files on there so tried to do a soft re-start by holding the top button until the menu screen on the watch appeared then hit the power symbol.
Once the watch had been Off/black screen for 10 seconds, i then held the top button again probably too long accidentally and the watch ran through a series of testing screens I.e testing GPS, Wifi signal, display colours, Battery function.
I scrolled through these using the top button again, until a screen prompted me that to hold the power button (top button) to end the test screens.
The watch screen turned off, then after 5/10 seconds of black screen, i held the top button again but only until I saw the Garmin symbol.
After the watch seemed to have re-booted, It was back to normal with all my data still stored, but no music.
I was then able to transfer new music and do what I needed to do.
Hope this helps someone
