### Bug Description

Sample pool folders disappear after shutdown. Leaves one giant pool of audio files that are only visible after “adding a new folder” to the sample pool.

I expect it to keep the folders in place so that the fill functions work as intended and removing the need to spend hours rebuilding a functioning sample pool after every shutdown (every day…)

### Reproduction Steps

1. Load up all the folders just as the manual says
2. Make an awesome song and save
3. Shut your play+ down
4. Power it back up the following day
5. Make a new folder in the sample pool to gain access to audio files
6. Delete audio files to open memory
7. Rinse and repeat.

### Occurrence

It happens every single time.

### Found in

- **Version** : 1.0.1
- **Build** : 1405

Hi @Origami_Poltergeist , sorry you’re experiencing issues with Play+. I see you also commented in [Sample Pool folders disappear after restart and project load](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/sample-pool-folders-disappear-after-restart-and-project-load/8054) , they seem to be the same issues? Can you confirm please? If so, I’ll close this one as duplicate, unless you had a good reason to open in separately? Thanks for your support
