showing a red disk with a white minus sign to the left of each name.3. Tap on the red disk next to the datafile you wish to delete. The minus sign will switch from horizontal to vertical, and a red Delete button will appear to the right, as shown below.
4. Make sure that the Delete button is next to the datafile that you wish to delete, as shown below.
5. Tap the Delete button to confirm the deletion of that datafile. At this point, its name will be removed from the list.
6. You can delete as many datafiles as you wish at this time.
7. If you change your mind at any time up to this point, tap the Cancel button in the upper right corner to close this window without deleting any datafiles.
8. When you are through deleting datafiles, and you are satisfield with the list of remaining datafiles, finalize the deletion(s) by tapping the Done button in the upper left corner.
WARNING: When you tap the Done button, the deleted datafiles will be deleted immediately, and you will not be able to retrieve them.
NOTE: In the example above, the file being deleted has a .id3 extension, meaning that it is in iData 3 format, not iData Mobile format. If you inadvertently upload files in other than iData Mobile format, it is best to delete them, since they cannot be used in iData Mobile.
