I recently had the chance to utilize the Zoom H6 recorder for a project involving audio recordings. Although the Zoom H6 is an exceptional tool for capturing top-notch audio, handling and arranging the recorded files may occasionally be challenging. In this piece, I will walk you through the steps of deleting files on the Zoom H6, offering some of my own helpful tips and insights throughout the process.
Understanding the File Structure on the Zoom H6
Before we dive into deleting files, let’s take a moment to understand how the file structure is organized on the Zoom H6. The Zoom H6 uses an SD card to store the recorded audio files. When you record audio, the Zoom H6 creates a new folder for each recording session and names it based on the date and time of the recording. Inside each folder, the Zoom H6 saves the recorded audio files as WAV files.
Now that we have a basic understanding of the file structure, let’s move on to deleting files.
