Undeletable sample directory

Hi,
i am having a problem with an old sample directory i made to receive samples. I no longer need this directory and moved samples elsewhere but for an unknown reason i can’t delete it, it keeps telling me Error (not empty?) while being completely emptied. I can’t even rename this directory !
What’s wrong ? What should i do to get rid of this directory ?
Thanks.

I’ve exactly the same problem…

Hmm… sounds similar to the problem I got with the “incoming” folder a while back.

I could however not navigate from the incoming folder so I was kind of stuck there and ended up having to reset and clear the +Drive and start over.

See this thread: AR: can't step out of "incoming" directory anymore

Thank you very much LarsErik
I will have a look to that :wink:

Hi

I actually never moved the samples from the incoming folder and just left them there as a sample bank for my own samples. Maybe that´s wrong not to move them from the Incoming folder but at least I don´t have the problem that you a describing.

Yes ringokidf, it can be also a solution to avoid problems… Can be little messy because after a moment you don’t know where the sounds come from. But even if i do like you, i would like to erase this empty directory at the top of all these samples… and i can’t. In fact, i have this empty directory, and after all the samples that should be in the directory instead following it in the list. Strange, anyway for a 1450 € gear not to be able to store samples in folders/directories. May be it’s me…(i’m a new user) but it appears concerning some other people. Wait, try and see :wink:

is there any solution to this? I cant delete any of my sample folder :frowning: always getting the same error!


it seems like I have to delete the samples inside the folder first and delete the folder afterwards. strange, but works!

Got this as well, can’t get out of this Error (not empty) loop

Allright decided to bit the bullet and wipe the samples off of the +drive and then reload. Turned out pretty sweet in my case.

This is a real pain when it comes to sample management. Such a workflow disruption is very unlike Elektron. I hope they address this in their next firmware update.

Can you rearrange your samples using the recent Transfer app?
