    Deleting Programs From VEX IQ Brain

    Did you know that you can delete programs from the VEX IQ Brain? This is a great way to remove old programs that are no longer being used and free up space for new programs. Currently, there are two methods of deleting programs from the VEX IQ Brain.

    NOTE: Both methods require the VEX IQ be connected to the computer via the USB cable.

    METHOD 1: You can wipe the entire IQ Brain of all existing ROBOTC programs by re-downloading the Firmware.

    Simply press the "Firmware Download" button to re-download the Firmware.

    METHOD 2: You can individually delete existing programs by using ROBOTC File Management Utility.

    In ROBOTC, navigate to the ROBOT > Advanced Tools > File Management

    On the left, you will see a list of all the programs that is currently stored on the VEX IQ Brain. To delete, simply select a program from that list, then click on "Delete File" to delete the program. Once completed, press the "Close" button to close the File Management Utility.
