Delete a project or project folder
Deleting a project folder deletes the folder and all of the projects it contains. Your
media is not deleted because media is stored in Events.
1 Open the Project Library and select a project.
2 Do one of the following:
 To delete a project: Select the project and choose File > Move Project to Trash (or
press Command-Delete).
 To delete a folder and any projects the folder contains: Select the folder and choose
File > Move Folder to Trash (or press Command-Delete).
The project or project folder (and the projects the folder contains) is removed from the
Project Library and moved into the Finder Trash.
3 To permanently delete the project or project folder and its les and free up space on
your hard disk, empty the Finder Trash.
WARNING: After the Trash is emptied, the le or folder cannot be restored.
You can also delete a project’s render les. See “View background tasks” on page 476
for more information.
Saveprojects
Final Cut Pro automatically saves all the changes you make as you work on a project,
which means you never have to save changes manually. Also, you can undo all of your
changes up to the last time you quit and reopened Final Cut Pro by choosing Edit >
Undo (or pressing Command-Z).
Changes you make to a clip in a project do not aect the clip’s source le. Thus, if
you’ve made a lot of changes to a clip but want to start fresh, you can easily restore
the clip to its original state by adding a new copy of the clip (located in the Event
Library) to your project.
