Managing temporary files
About temporary files
When you edit a file, Adobe Audition copies the audio data into a temporary file for internal use. This process allows
for quicker editing, better handling of large files, and the ability to undo changes.
When specifying folders for temporary files, you should use hard disks with plenty of free space. (To specify these
folders, see “System preferences” on page 34.) If free disk space reaches 45 MB, the Manage Temporary Folder
Reserve Space dialog box appears. You can use this dialog box to delete temporary files and clear undo items.
Use the status bar to monitor the amount of free disk space. (See “Display the status bar” on page 27.)

• To close a temporary file you’re no longer using, select the file in the Waveform list and click Close File. (The
currently active waveform can’t be closed this way, however.)
• To clear Undo items for a file, select the file in the Waveform list. The Undo History list displays the actions that
are currently being retained on your system and the amount of hard drive space each instance consumes. Select
an item and click Clear Undo(s). All items at the selected level and below are removed.
