Found the answer in the Apple app store - It's called Clean My Drive 2. Load this flash or stick drive into the iMac computer and run the program. It will eliminate only the hidden second set of mp3 music. All tests in my car proved it worked perfectly.

Hey Chocobill,

Thanks for posting your question in Apple Support Communities!

If by "flashcards" you mean an SD storage card you have a couple of options here. It is likely that these hidden files are appearing due to how the card is formatted. You can use the Disk Utility app on your Mac to erase and reformat the card and then add the music back. Your second option would be to look at the card in finder and try to remove any unneeded files you see. Very rarely are there "hidden" files so likely it is an issue with your SD card's format.

Best Wishes.
