how the heck do you delete pete yorn?

**amboy83** · 04-19-2011, 07:40 PM

(sorry not a big fan) i dont see a way to delete music directly off the pb and i cant find him in any of the folders when i hook it up to the computer. i see how to delete pictures off the pb by swiping down but when i do that in the music app it only lets me add songs to a playlist. what am i missing?

what a waste of space

**gravymonster** · 04-19-2011, 11:51 PM

It's not just Pete. I can't figure out how to delete any of my own music either. So all is not lost. That being said.. Seriously.. how do you delete music?

Open file sharing from my Mac to add/delete music/video. But pete yorn don't know where.

yeah you can delete your own music by connecting to pc/mac but pete doesnt show up there.

I'm not sure if this thread is dead but i couldn't find one where someone successfully deleted this song. Using AIR Browser I was able to browse to the music file and delete the song. Hopefully this helps the next guy searching the forums.

Pete is in the same category as the HD video sample. It's in a folder protected by the OS that is automatically included when you bring up the music app (Pete) or video app (HD whales). These folders are not available to view in any of the file browsers.

People were complaining that after a wipe/restore of their Playbook, the HD video became unavailable. This is because the wipe removed the remnants of the original OS installation and the video was not part of the later updates. That's why they put a version of the video for download in the App Store.

I'm not sure if Pete is included in subsequent updates. If not, then a wipe is the only way to get rid of him. Otherwise, be prepared every time you set your music app to shuffle! :P

Some how I think Mike (co-CEO of RIM) thought this was one hot mix..

Sad...

Glad I wasn't the only one who needed a double take…

A security wipe will delete Pete Yorn and the demo video. Just back up everything but media, then restore.

I honestly thought the same thing. I wanted to see who the person was that could download it but not delete it.

So... Pete will come back every update?

**rmac414** · 09-07-2011, 08:04 PM

you just need to download AIR BROWSER and delete from there.

Yep, I thought I read that too...lol

But yeah, I think its equally embarrassing to have either that or Pete Yorn spotted on the Playbook media player. (sorry to his fans, just my opinion)

You don't. Pete Yorn deletes you, if he even notices you at all...

**LimeTripBlog** · 09-08-2011, 12:36 AM

Security Wipe Helps free some space in your playbook, I'm glad that i got rid of that song.

**louzer** · 09-08-2011, 01:12 AM

Pete's pleading with you not to delete him!!!

**Siiid** · 09-08-2011, 03:35 AM

pete yorn makes porn?

**eds817** · 09-08-2011, 06:30 AM

Who is Pete Yorn?

**lauraf117a** · 06-23-2012, 02:23 PM

Go into file manager, click music then the little pencil icon, finally click the bin on the right next to the song. Unfortunately this does not work on the pictures, but it does work on the video.

**GregD31** · 06-23-2012, 03:09 PM

On your PlayBook (Tap into the File Manager>(if connected to Smart phone click into the Playbook At the top if not connected dont worry about it>Tap into music>Tap the pencil edit Icon to the right>Then the bin icon next the the song you want gone). And it works EXACTLY the same for pictures.
