Here are the steps to delete All images on the current memory
card:
1. To delete all images in all folders, simply select All, as
shown in Figure 2-2 for the D300S or 1B for the D300.
2. The D300S adds an additional screen at this point since
it has two memory cards (see Figure 2-2, image 3). On
the D300S, you must select either the SD or CF memory
card slot for image deletion. The D300 is simpler since it
only has one memory card, so there is one less screen to
step through, as shown in Figure 2-3.
3. Select Yes from the next screen with the big red
exclamation point and the dire warning that reads: All
images in all folders will be deleted. OK? See the last
screen in Figure 2-2 (D300S) or 1B (D300).
4. Press the OK button. A final screen informing you that
the dire deed has been Done will pop up briefly.
Being the paranoid type, I tested this well and found that the
D300(S) will not delete protected and hidden images. Plus, it
will keep any folders you have created. However, if you are a
worrier, you may want to transfer the images before deleting
them.
My Recommendation: I don’t use the All function often
since I don’t create special folders for each type of image. If
you maintain a series of folders on your memory card(s), you
may enjoy using the All function. Most of the time, I just use
Selected and remove particular images. Any other time I want
to clear the card, I use the Format memory card function on
the Setup Menu or hold down the two buttons with the red
Format label next to them. We’ll discuss formatting the
