BWTFFAM Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hello and happy 2012! Recently, I went through my hard drive for a major clean-up, and realized that some of my Logic projects are really heavy. When I opened them, I saw that Logic saves everything I record, even if I erase it in the project. I do a lot of bad takes when recording a guitar or drums, so I erase them right away and just do a new one. But Logic keeps them all. I know that technically, something has to be written on my hard drive, but can't they go in a temp folder which gets erased every month or so, and then Logic just saves the one on the project? I hope I explained myself well. I usually don't. Thank you all and have an incredible year! Did I mention the new forum looks bitching?

PP1965 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 If I know well it is not possible to save files into a temp folder, instead of it try out the File / Project / Clean Up command. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Jackson Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 When you want to delete Audio Files from your HD that are still in your Bin but unused, open the Bin then select Edit>Select Unused then select Audio>Delete Audio File(s). This will delete the unused Audio Files from your HD. If you already selected Unused in the Bin and used Edit>Delete then the files will be deleted from your project (Bin) but still reside on your HD. In this case you can use File>Project>Clean Up... to delete the unused Audio Files from your HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWTFFAM Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thank you both. presumably, I have to do this for different projects separately? Also, on a related note, since I've done a little of the clean-up manually, Logic is now asking me before I open certain projects, if I want to locate files that Logic is looking for. I'm positive that I haven't erased anything that was on the project, but still I have to click on skip all every time I open some projects. It's nothing to keep me up at night, but is there a fix for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Jackson Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thank you both. You're welcome! I have to do this for different projects separately? Yes. Logic is now asking me before I open certain projects, if I want to locate files that Logic is looking for. I'm positive that I haven't erased anything that was on the project, but still I have to click on skip all every time I open some projects. It's nothing to keep me up at night, but is there a fix for that? Skip all. Open the Bin and select Edit>Select Unused. If anything gets highlighted, look at Audio File>Delete File(s). If Delete File(s) is grayed back select Edit>Delete or simply press Delete to delete the reference files from the Bin. Save. Close the project and relaunch the project. Fixed?
