Well, Phil talked be through how I delete unused audio. There was 6050 unused 
audio files, now, is that someone whose work load is Mammoth,  or just someone 
who makes loads of mistakes? 
I'm quietly thinking it's some where in the middle? lol

  Steve the oh, so that's how you do it Wicketts.

  Thanks Phil,

  Took a look at the audio clean up last night, I opened a project, pressed alt 
L and arrowed down once to put me on Clean up and entered on it.
  I tab to the "Find button" and press the space bar, this put me on delete all 
history and delete clipboard. I wasn't sure whether I should press ok on that 
or not so cancelled. and went to bed.
  Phil is it OK if I call you on Monday? just give me a time if Mondays' ok 
with you. I have loads of finished and unfinished projects on this computer so, 
can't afford to take chances of losing hundreds of hours of work with my 
limited knowledge.

    Steve.  If you haven't used the clean audio tool on your project folders 
then, Sonar will back up everything you have copied, including the unwanted 
audio files.  Also, if projects are running with a lot of latency and you are 
getting drop outs then, it's time to use the clean audio tool.  Give me a call 
and I will be happy to explain all of this in a lot more detail.

    Hi all,

    This maybe an obvious question but, if you back up all of your projects, 
does the computer take all the deleted audio files and save them to your back 
up drive or does it know just to save the audio files necessary for your 
projects?

      They are the graphics that appear in your project such as the envelopes, 
etc. that we can't use with traditional access tools. I delete them all every 
few weeks or so.

        Hi Phil,

        I trust all's well with you.

        I've got a question; Just what is this picture cash folder anyway? I've 
got almost 2000 files in there; when I scrolled through it to see what sorts of 
files I had, they were various extensions, but they were names of past projects 
I had since moved to a storage drive. Many of them represented edits and 
recordings of tracks and so forth. I didn't dare delete them because I didn't 
know what I might do to mess up projects.

        Take care.



        Mike

          Open up the picture Cash folder in Windows Explorer and press control 
A to highlight everything then, Shift Delete to get rid of everything.  Also, 
James is correct.  You should periodically use the clean audio folder to clean 
out deleted audio that you have used in projects.
