helllooooo fellow mpc users kind of a new user in terms of the mpc world but I bought an MPC second hand and was clearing out some storage because it said my internal storage was low so i was deleting some files and without thinking i may have deleted some important files because im not able to open any of my projects anymore. when i turn on my mpc i can see my old projects but theyre all greyed out and i am unable to open them.

any fix regarding this? there are some live projects that i have been working on for ages and it be a HUGE sadness if i cant recover them

Sorry for your loss, but don't save sh*t to the factory drive & make back ups, esp if you're about to delete a bunch of files.

There is a default structure that is on the internal drive.
Once you start deleting files you jeopardize that structure.
Old Owner may have saved to the internal drive (they shouldn’t have).

When that internal structure is jacked up you’ll need to contact Akai for the re-imaging drive, and yes, everything will be wiped new once you re-image your internal drive.
After re-imaging the internal don’t save ANYTHING to it. Save/store everything to usb/sd/your own installed ssd.
