the following:
1. Press the HDD button to enter the File Viewer.
2. Navigate to the file to be deleted.
3. Press the soft key marked OPTIONS.

The file has now been moved to the trash folder and will no longer appear in the file listing. It will,
however, appear in the trash folder. Files sent the trash folder can be viewed and played.
If a file or folder has accidentally been sent to the trash the drive can be mounted to a computer via
FireWire and moved back to its original folder. Files and folders moved to the trash cannot be removed
from the trash from the 7-Series recorder.
False Take Control
To identify a take as a false take, perform the following:
1. Press stop to end recording.
2. Wait for the file to finish writing, the activity LED will turn off
3. Hold down the stop key and press rewind to be prompted to delete the most recent take.
4. Press the soft check box to delete the take.
Files that have been deleted as false takes are moved to the FALSETAKES folder and the file’s metada-
ta False Takes flag is set to true. The False Takes folder sits in the drive root. When recording to Com-
pactFlash and external FireWire storage devices files from each media will be moved to each media’s
FALSETAKES folder. False takes will remain on the drive until the FALSETAKES folder is deleted. See
Emptying the Trash and False Take Folders.
Emptying the Trash and False Take Folders
Files that have been moved to the trash and false take folders (see below) can be permanently delet-
ed from the recorder. Each drive has its own Trash and False Take folders and they are permanently
deleted independently.
Once the trash and False Take folders have been emptied, any files or folders they contain are permanently
deleted and cannot be recovered.
