Formatting Epson P-3000?

[Woobag]

as I intend to sell my P-3000 I started deleting files, first by deleting them individually on the unit itself and then connecting it to my PC when I realised that it was going to take an age to do it on the unit.

However, after deleting everything I was left with 7.6GB of used space. After contacting epson support I was told to reconnect the viewer to my PC and empty the recycle bin. This did release some space on the viewer but still left over 3GB of disk use.

Is there any way of getting this back? Perhaps a format (which epson say you shouldn't do!) or some other way of releasing this space.

I think that the files I deleted on the unit itself are still taking space even thought the folders are showing empty.

Any thoughts?

I tried formatting my P-2000 and it killed it. Don't do it!

Go to the Epson website and ask them directly. I had to buy another one.

Thanks for that, I won't be fomatting then!
I did try Epson support but they just referred me to the manual which states emptying the Recycle Bin while attached to the P-3000.

That's about all you can do. But if I were you, I'd call them directly to ask a tech. You never know what you'll get.
