I'm having trouble deleting the motif XF performance collection. When i go to utility click on contents, data utility the collection does not show up, i do not see it nowhere. I can go to category search and click on bank/favorite its listed as Motif XF. I appreciate all help.

Press [UTILITY] button
"Contents" -> "Data Utility" menu
Press "Library"
... and this is where you don't see "Motif XF" I imagine.

Not sure since there's only 3 ways to clear it. Either this way, initializing your keyboard, or loading an X7A backup file (that doesn't have this library).

You don't have a "MOTIF XF" Library installed. If you did, it would show up under the Library contents of Data Utility. Let me explain what's going on.

Since firmware v2.50, Montage added a new Bank called "MOTIF XF" which are 512 new Performances that are borrowed from the past Motif XF. This is not a library you can delete. It's part of your presets. For easy organization, the Yamaha decided to create a Bank/Favorite that only contains these Performances. Again, not a library - just a "folder" to organize these new _presets_.

Take a look at any supplementary manual (bundled with firmware - or download the latest from the yamaha.com website support page for Montage). You'll find "New Functions in MONTAGE Version 2.50" and then the next page shows:

"Additional New Performances
The MONTAGE offers 512 new Performances in MOTIF XF Bank.
For the added Performances, refer to the Data List."

Notice "MOTIF XF Bank". There's also a picture here showing the MOTIF XF bank which matches what you're seeing.

Don't initialize anything. Don't try to delete it - because you can't. It's provided now "for free" (as in, consumes no resources) as part of your standard Presets for any firmware v2.50 or later.
