Deleting the unnecessary file in a song
Each song has two WAV file: one for track data,
while the other for undo/redo operation. The
latter file is called "undo WAV file" and allows
undo/redo operation. Executing undo operation
consumes the space of the card. Therefore, the
more often you execute undo/redo, the remain-
ing space becomes smaller.
If you decide not to use the undo function in the
recording process, you can delete only the undo
WAV file which is not necessary now.
By deleting the undo WAV file, you can increase
the remaining (recordable) space of a song.

which is protected. To delete the undo WAV
file of such a song, release the protection

WAV file.

execute the undo/redo function for the
previous recording/editing.
