SUMMARY

All sounds you record in Creative Writer or Fine Artist are stored in a single file: the ~MAX.SND file in Creative Writer and the ~MAG.SND file in Fine Artist. The only way to delete sounds you have recorded is to delete the ~MAX.SND or ~MAG.SND file.

NOTE: This deletes all the sounds you have recorded; there is no way to selectively remove a sound.

MORE INFORMATION

If you are using Windows, use the following steps to remove your recorded sounds:
  1. Locate the ~MAX.SND file (for Creative Writer) or ~MAG.SND file (for Fine Artist). The file locations are as shown below 
          <drive>:\MSKIDS\USERS\YOURNAME\~MAX.SND
      <drive>:\MSKIDS\USERS\YOURNAME\~MAG.SND
    where <drive> is the letter of your hard drive.

    For information about how to perform this task in Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or online Help.
  2. From the File menu, choose Delete to remove the .SND file.
If you are using a Macintosh, use the following steps to remove your recorded sounds:
  1. Double-click your hard drive, open the Mskids folder, and open the Users folder.
  2. Inside the Users folder, open the folder with your nickname, and select the ~MAX.SND file (for Creative Writer) or ~MAG.SND file (for Fine Artist).
  3. Drag the .SND file to the Trash. From the Special menu, choose Empty Trash.
By following these steps, you have removed any sounds that you recorded in Creative Writer and/or Fine Artist.
