Removing missing files from sampler track crashes my Cubase

Cubase 15-2026-08-27-135735.ips (494.7 KB)

Hello, I just noticed this happening. I removed sampler tracks that I didnt use anymore and cleared the pool. When I opened the project again, the files that I deleted popped up as missing. There weren’t any files in the Audio folder, but the audio files were still in the pool with “x” (I’ve deleted the sampler tracks prior to this). When I tried to remove the missing files from pool, Cubase crashes. I’ve attached the ips file here.

Anyone else facing this problem? Thank you in advance!

def looks like a Cubase crash. I stopped using the sampler, 1 of the main reasons is the sample management and the poorly way it is handled.

I have deleted samples from the pool before without problems tough.
