read the faq, searched the board. ok so i can be pretty slow (how about that for a warning?).

1) i put a full album on the player.
2) i decide that i only want one of the songs to remain.
3) i _move_ (cut/paste) the selection to a fav singles folder

4a) i delete the original playlist with delete all versions checked. this results in my moved item getting deleted too.

4b) i delete the original playlist without the delete all versions checked. the single track is retained in the fav singles folder, but the tracks that were deleted did not yield any additional disk space on the player. yes, these were the only locations that these tracks were in a playlist on the player so the music should have been physically deleted [as long as i understand the process correclty].

** could someone please correctly identify my problem?.

*** do i have music floating on my player with no playlist to locate it? how can i locate and delete?

thanks thanks thanks. much appreciated.
