Black-Rectangle,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have tried your suggestion to no avail. No matter what I do, my Clip+ comes on, show the flower, blanks the screen, and then shows the flower continuously. I simply cannot connect to it from my Windows 10 computer in any manner.
The files I added had folders with long names. I am guessing that that caused the initial problem. It seems that I need some way to delete those folders in the Music directory. I have even considered opening the unit to see if the memory chip(s) were obvious hoping I could find some data to erase it.
Any ideas?
This is a brand new unit which I specifically purchased to have a spare. My original still works, but I need to re-solder the headphone jack to the board (again!).
Thanks.
