Removing Unused Audio Files
You can use the Cleanup function to locate and delete unused audio files in the
project folders on your disk.
PREREQUISITE
Make sure that you have not moved or renamed files or folders without updating the
project files to use the new paths. Also make sure that the project folder does not
contain audio files that belong to projects that are not saved in the project folder.
PROCEDURE
1. Close all projects.
2. Select File > Cleanup.
3. Click the Start button.
Cubase scans the hard disks for project folders and lists all audio and image files that
are not used by any project.
NOTE
You can also click the Search Folder button to select a specific folder for the
Cleanup function. This is only recommended if you are sure that the folder contains
no audio files that are used in other projects.
4. Select the files that you want to delete and click Delete.
Creating Self-Contained Projects
If you want to share your work or transfer it to another computer, your project must
be self-contained.
The following functions facilitate this task:
•Select Media > Prepare Archive to verify that every clip that is referenced in
the project is located in the project folder, and to take actions if that is not the
case.
•Select File > Back up Project to create a new project folder where you can
save the project file and the necessary work data. The original project remains
unchanged.
