Do you have windows media player still open while you're trying to delete the file?

Or perhaps you still have it linked as your ringtone.... Try selecting a different ringtone and then deleting it.....

yeah its probably still used as a ringtone or media player is still open. Check running programs in the memory tab of settings. If you wanted to cut the song length down you could use htc audio manager you can make ringtones right in there. I like the look of the audio manager better than wmp anyways but thats just me.

well i try but every time i touch for that ringtone it starts up in wmp and plays the song? ps ive tried shutting down the player first still dont work. lee

Well, make sure that A) when you "shut down" windows media player, you actually go to running process and kill it. And, B) that it's not assigned as a ring tone.

Those should be the only two things that will hinder your deletion progress.

When your in Windows Media Player, select Now Playing on the bottom left hand corner. There it will show you the song you are trying to delete. highlight the song and click on the little red x on the bottom of your screen. That will delete it from WMP. Close WMP and try to delete the song again.
