Deleting Items From Disk - Akai S6000 Operator's Manual

s5000 / s6000

DELETING ITEMS FROM DISK

To delete something from disk, move the cursor to the item you want to delete. F14 is used to
delete the item and, like load and save, its label changes according to the item selected. So, for
example, if the cursor is on a folder, the key will be labelled DELETE FOLDER and if it's on a
MULTI, it will be labelled DELETE MULTI. The same would be true for programs and samples.
Pressing F14 pops up this prompt:
You should proceed (with caution!) as appropriate. If the folder contains any data, to prevent
accidental deletion, you are warned:
You should delete the contents first before finally deleting the folder.
If your sampler is connected to a hard disk that has PC data on it (for example, a removable
drive that has been used to store W95/8 or Mac folders), whilst you are able to see these
folders in the sampler's disk list, if you open these folders, it is quite possible that you will not
see anything in them. This is because the sampler does not recognise any non-Akai files
(word processor documents such as .txt, graphics files such as .jpg or .bmp, etc.).
As a result, you could have a situation where you go to delete a particular folder that appears
to be empty but which, in fact, contains non-Akai data. In this case, you will receive the prompt
shown above and you will not be able to delete that folder on the S6000.
If such folders exist on your sampler's disk drive, they should be deleted either on a PC or on
a Mac that has PC Exchange installed or which uses a W95/8 emulator.
