I do not understand why anyone is saying that there is a work around as, when there is a bogus file restriction caused by a malfunction in the software you cannot delete some files regardless of following the: Play>Stop>Delete method above. It does not work in all situations.
What I'd like to know is why Humax do not apply a software correction in their updates to resolve this? Just because something is out of guarantee does not negate the responsibility of a manufacturer against creating faulty goods that malfunction?
My car is 12 years old but functions perfectly because it was properly designed and manufactured and includes sophisiticated electronics.
If replacing a hard drive inevitably leads to the same malfunction then it's up to Humax to sort out the problem in their updates by correcting the software issues in the first place. I do not want to invest time and money doing their job for them. I have a file that I want to delete and I cannot and the message " cannot delete due to file restrictions' is Humax's creation so, they need to deal with it.
