Deleting Media Files Using the Media Tool
Because the Media tool displays only the media on your drives—and the
master clips in the media tool are references to that media and not the
actual master clips in your bins—the Media tool does not give you the
option of deleting master clips. However, you can use the Media tool to
delete video, audio, and precompute media files. You can use the Media
tool for a variety of deletion tasks.
Use the Media tool to:

Delete all the media files for a specific project. This is less time-con-
suming than opening every bin for a project and deleting the associ-
ated media files.

Delete all the media files for a particular sequence or for a number of
clips. In this procedure, you use a bin and the Media tool together to
identify media relatives in both places.

Delete media that you didn’t use in your sequence. This proce-
dure is similar to the preceding one, but the selection is reversed
before deletion.
To delete media files using the Media tool:
1. Display the master clips or precompute master clips from your project,
depending on what content you want to delete.
2. In the Media tool, select the items with media files you want to delete.
3. Press the Delete key to open the Media tool’s Delete Media dialog box.
4. Select the media objects that you want to delete.
Notice that the Delete Media dialog box allows you to select media files
by media type. This capability makes it possible to delete all the video and
batch captures at a new resolution without affecting mixed audio tracks.

deletion of media files.
Make sure no one else
needs the media files you
are planning to delete,
and make sure no other
project is using these
media files.
