Cleaning Wizard

The Cleaning Wizard helps delete disc images and entire projects from the hard drive, including all of the media files used.

Use this function to free up disk space for future projects.

IMPORTANT Caution: If the files you used in the film (such as trailers, opening music, etc.) are ones you have used in other films, you should make copies of these files beforehand.

Delete certain files: Choose this option if you would like to select certain files for deletion. You can select the files you want to delete in the file selection dialog. In the next step, the Cleaning Wizard searches for other files which belong to your selection. Using this method, you can delete an entire movie with all of its accompanying media, help, project, and backup files. Before deleting the files, you will receive relevant information in a dialog and will also be asked to confirm deletion.

Find and delete unnecessary files: Choose this option if you want to find unnecessary files or free up some space on your hard drive. The Cleaning Wizard then automatically looks for extraneous files created while using Movie Studio that are no longer needed. Before deleting the files, you will receive additional information in a dialog and will also be asked to confirm deletion.

Under Advanced you can define which files and folders should be included in the cleaning process.
