Can't Delete Sample - Warning!

I downloaded (directly on the Nook Color) a sample chapter of a book from the bookstore. It cannot be deleted! No matter what I try, the sample remains firmly on the Nook. I decided not to read the book.

Anyone have a solution to delete the sample?

You will need to login to you account on the B&N website and Delete it from your Library there, then it will be gone forever and wont be Re-downloaded to your Nook.

After you login at the top, go to "My Account" > "My Nook Library"

Support Has No Clue

And I deleted the sample from my library (on BN website) but the sample is still persistent. Is there a way to reconcile the Nook (color) with the online account? Going to the store on the Nook does nothing.

Now go to your Library on your Nook Color and hit the Sync button next to the Search at the bottom. The Button with the Two Arrows making a Circle.

This should sync the changes made to your library on the website. Keep in mind your nook will need to online when this is done.

could not sync device online

I deleted the sample online. However, my nook color had warning about disconnecting USB port correctly to avoid file transfer problems. This message would not go away and I could not direct my NOOK COLOR to do anything. So, I disconnected safely from computer. THEN I did the sync and it did delete the sample. I got my nook color for Christmas, but hate that I cannot delete directly on it but rather have to go thru BN online. ESPECIALLY since I can order books thru my wi-fi connection. Ridiculous!

Agreed, Razorback. BN needs to add a delete option not just for samples but in general. You also cannot delete your sideloaded content from the device. Very inconvenient to have to connect via USB to delete.

Will this work for the regular non-color Nook?
Will the books that I loaded from non-B&N sources be safe?
