Delete samples/files on the Tracker

The ability to simply delete samples / files from the SD Card directly, from within the Tracker unit itself. This could be done from the Sample Loader screen. If devs are worried we can delete important files perhaps limit this functionality to the Recordings and Export folders only which is where most people want to clean up.

What is the problem?

Can’t delete files on the Tracker unit itself

What do you want to achieve?

Have the option in the Sample Loader to delete files

Are there any workarounds?

Take out the SD card and plug into a computer

Any links to related discussions?

I am aware of https://backstage.polyend.com/t/cut-copy-paste-browser-sample-editor-everywhere

But I feel that wish feature is quite loaded. I am only requesting Delete as a bare minimum. I can live without Cut, Paste and moving files around (although would be great to include that one day!).

Any references to other products?

I agree. There are some rendered audio files that pile up and can’t delete them without using my computer.

Hey @PiedPiper , welcome to Backstage! :partying_face:

I’ve taken the liberty to update the wording a wee tiny bit.

I find it weird to make this a “wishable” thing.

The ability to delete samples from sd-Card should be a default feature imo.

Imagine if you had to take out the harddisk from your computer and insert in another computer to be able to remove files, which you dont want….

That is a buggy idea?
