Help How to delete preinstalled Huwaei Song?

[CaptainMarvel]

Hi,

A song called "Dream it Possible" recently appeared on my Huawei device. Not wanting it, I deleted it from the list of files.However, it is still visible and even playable in my main music app DoubleTwist. It is not, however, visible in the list of files or Huawei's stock music player. When I try to remove it from DoubleTwist, I get this error


Is there anything I can do?

Have you tried following the instructions and giving DoubleTwist write permission to the SD card?

For that matter, have you tried telling your music player to rescan its library? If it's using some weird cached copy maybe that will make it forget it.

I just tried scanning, as well as a feature called library cleanup to "remove ghost items from library" but neither of these worked

How would I go about giving DoubleTwist SD card permissions? When you click browse on those instructions, it only takes you to your files.

My Huawei has the same song. But according to BlackPlayer EX file path. It's a system file, not on the SD. So it can't be deleted, unless rooted.

May find a couple of other preloaded songs as well on Huawei devices, that can't be deleted.
Encounter.flac & Polonaise.flac

Is there a "select" button at the bottom of that file view? If so navigate to the root of the SD card (the top directory of the SD card) and press the select button. I've seen this interface when giving my file explorer access to a flash drive.

Maybe just use a music player that only reads files from certain folders?

I know that poweramp allows this, there should also be some free players that do so too.

PowerAmp FTW!
