uhhh... the samples you load are saved on your cf crad (or whatever you use on the 1000). When you load them you load them into the mpc's ram (memory). When you delete them in trim mode, you are deleting them from the mpc's memory. If you go into the load/save mode and delete the sample, it will delete the sound from your cf card, and you won't be able to load it again.

I don't have my MPC in front of me, but I keep the PDF manual with me:
There's one procedure for deleting any type of file from the CF (sample, MIDI, whatever).
In Save mode, select the file you want to delete, using the cursor keys. If you select a directory, then hit Right, you jump down into the directory so you can select individual files. Then it's just F2 to delete.

(I know I shouldn't say this, but: manual pg 83, "Deleting A File".)
