Sonar X1d Searches Deleted MIDI Samples Before Loading Audio Tracks

Message is redone. No paragraphing in original!

Using Sonar X1d I setup a MIDI score using Garritan libraries. then I bounce my MIDI tracks to audio tracks and deleted all the MIDI tracks and the Garritan ARIA Player so now I have just the full audio tracks. Apart from the occasional drop-out and Sonar.exe still running after closing Sonar (mentioned in other threads and yes, I'm using an M-audio 192) actual playback of my file most of the time is good. The issue I'm asking about is that although my score is now fully audio tracks only, every time I open the file Sonar first whizzes through all the MIDI samples I used before loading the audio files. I should add that the MIDI samples are not actually loaded, they are just 'referenced' by Sonar first before opening my audio tracks. Is there a way I can stop this happening, a way to flush out all these now unwanted MIDI samples references? I know that I could create a new score using just audio tracks then importing the audio files but then there's all the automation and performance nuances I've added. It's a large score so 'twill be a lot of work. I'm hoping there's a way I can 'clean' my existing score. Many thanks.

Try this:

Do a save as with a different name and, most importantly, to a different location.

Make sure you've got "Copy Audio With Project" checked.

This is like running "Clean audio Folder" on a specific project.
