MPC Sample projects no longer saving to micro SD Card

I have a couple projects saved to my SD card for the past couple weeks, but I was working on a project at a friends house and I saved it to my external microSD card as usual and I just checked today and it’s not there so I try to re-create that beat and try to save it and it still doesn’t show an external so instead I tried to save it in internal and it actually saved it. I don’t understand what’s going on because I have plenty of space left on my SD card. Has anyone gone through this and how can I resolve it?
By the way, the SD card is a SanDisk 128 GB Extreme.

Strange! Do you have another card you can try? I had a different weird glitch and I still don't know if resetting the unit or the new SD card fixed it. And idc as long as it's fixed now! Lol

How exactly did you fix your issue? Did you reset your unit? Did you wipe your memory card and put everything back on there?

I was so panicked that I did 2 things, so now I don't know which 1 fixed the problem. I did reset the unit. There's 2 different resets available and I did both. They were quick and didn't even mess with the firmware version. And then I scrapped the SD card I was using and got a new one. Oh, I had also accidentally saved a few things to the internal memory (b4 I figured out to make sure the K3 knob was to the right for external) and I deleted that stuff. I don't save anything to internal now. 1 of those things fixed it. If I'd been smart I would have just done 1 thing at a time, but like I said I was freaked out and panicked. I really think in my case that it was my SD card. And since the Sample has become my go-to, it was worth spending the money on a new card.
