BMW USB Hard Drive Questions

Hi All

Just had a couple of questions with regards to the internal hard drive that maybe you could answer

1. How do you find out the capacity of the hard drive , is there a status menu?
2. What is the capacity of the hard drive , some say it is 20GB but I have managed to download about 23GB from USB ?
3. is the hard drive a SSD drive ?
4. How do I delete songs from the hard drive ?

Thanks in advance

Select Media, music collection, options. There are then tabs for available memory, delete by track album artist or delete all. You can backup to a USB drive if you wish.
Download the Drivers Guide App; you enter your VIN number and the guide is then customised to your specific car. If search Music Collection, it had everything you need to know.
by the way, there is also 128GB of storage available for artist, album, track information that is copied from individual USB drives into in car storage.
