If you’re using the OverDrive Media Console app to download eBooks directly to your smartphone, tablet or other mobile device, you can return them early and delete them from your device using the app.

Although you never need to return eBooks, returning them early lets you take out more eBooks if you’ve already reached the four-book limit. It also makes the eBook available for other users. If you don’t return books, they will automatically expire when the due date is reached.

2. Open ‘Folder Options’ and select the ‘View’ tab.
3. Select ‘Show hidden files and folders’.
4. Uncheck ‘Hide protected operating system files’.
5. In the warning message you receive, click ‘Yes’.
6. Click ‘OK’.
7. Close the Control Panel
8. Rename the DRM folder to DRM.old. In Windows XP, this folder should be located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM

10. Go to “Tools > Windows Media Player Security Upgrade”.
    If it will not run from the OverDrive Media Console, the security upgrade may also be run by going to (in Internet Explorer only) the following site: http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite
