Formatting the storage of your Walkman

Delete data such as Google account information and downloaded applications, and reset your Walkman to factory default. If you put a checkmark in the checkbox by tapping [Erase system storage], the following data will be erased: Music and photo data transferred to the Walkman, preinstalled content, the Help_Guide_Installer.exe or Help_Guide_Installer_for_mac file stored on [System storage] for installation on your computer. Be careful because the preinstalled content and the files in the “FOR_WINDOWS” and “FOR_MAC” folders will not be offered again. It is best to back up such data to a computer before initializing (formatting) the Walkman.

  1. Swipe the status bar down and tap - [SETTINGS].
  2. Tap [ Backup & reset] - [Factory data reset] - [Reset device].
    To delete music, photos, etc. transferred to [System storage], scroll down and then tap [Erase system storage] to put a checkmark in the checkbox before tapping [Reset device].
  3. Tap [Erase everything].
    Your Walkman restarts automatically after being initialized (formatted).
