Hi all. I mistakenly deleted the expansions folder from the internal storage and would want to have my mpcs internal storage back to it’s original state. Is there another way around this or should I wait for Akai’s technical support team to reply to my email? I believe they have to send a download link or file via email to be able to restore the internal storage. This is the first MPC I ever purchased and you may call this a noob mistake. I wish I read the forums before deleting the expansions folder. Now I can’t seem to use anything in the “contents” menu except for splice. Clicking on Clips, Instruments, Samples etc. doesn’t do anything.

1. Download the MPC Content Update onto a USB flash drive - PM me for the link - make sure you have enough room on the USB flash drive to download it.
2. Place the “autorun” folder on the root of the USB flash drive.
3. Pop the USB flash drive containing the MPC Content Update into one of the USB ports of your MPC Live.
4. Turn on your MPC and wait for the factory content to load back onto your MPC.

Please paste the direct link or instructions on how to find the link or file - someone reading a forum post 10 years from now will be ripping their hair off if there's no solution but the thread still appears in search results (I've had this gazillion times).

Yep people ruined having the restore images available so now Akai makes you send your MPC to them for reflashing. The only restore image that ever leaked was the one for the original Live like 2 years ago, so even that is out of date by now. No one has the images for the X, One, or Live 2, those have never left Akai's 'service center'.
