I know this could sound a very stupid question.....but i can't really figure out how erasing the samples from the internal flash memory. I followed the instructions from the manual. All the sequences and programs are gone away but the samples are still inside the internal flash memory.
Please help me

turn off auto load or don't turn it on with that card in the mpc

True...samples still living on your flash. Turning off the Auto Load stops it from loading to your Ram, but doesn't erase it.

Check this....

Clear On Load doesn't clear Sequences and Songs from memory. How do I do that?
Loading a new Project clears the entire memory when you load it, so you can create a clean Project file:
Clear the MPC1000 memory of all Programs, Purge Samples, delete all Sequences and Songs; or restart it without any Autoload and delete the blank default Program01;
Set up any default project-level settings you want, e.g for FX.
Save with the Save Entire Memory option, giving a suitable name, to a folder on the CF card.
This save two files: ALL_SEQS&SONGS.ALL, and a PRJ file linking to it. Load the PRJ file explicity to clear all memory. "Load All Files" will not do it, you must point at the PRJ file itself.
Or use this one: TabulaRasa.zip . Unzip to a folder on your CF card, and load TabulaRasa.PRJ explicitly when you want a "clean slate". (Tabula Rasa is Latin for ... you figure it out.)

steroids post is good but here is a way to do it without having to save a blank project. this is the way i did it and i never had to load a blank project. follow this link and scroll to my name. if you follow everything that i wrote, it will work for you too.

Problem solved guys.
Purge was the key.
I used to delete the pgms and not the samples.....so when i was at the "all pgm&samples" point,in order to overwrite the flash memory....i didn't realize that the samples was still inside the f memory.So everytime i was about to overwrite the f memory with the same content....beacuse the samples were not purged! Thats why when i turned back my 1k on, those samples were still inside.
Thanx for helping me out :)
