DELETING CLIPS

It is also possible to delete clips in the library. To do this, press UTILS (F5) to receive this
display at the bottom of the LCD:
Select the clip you wish to delete and press DELETE (F4). You will receive this prompt:
As the prompt informs you, there is no UNDO for this so proceed with caution. The
EXECUTE key will be flashing and you should press this to delete the selected clip or EXIT
to cancel the operation.
NOTE: When you delete a clip in the library page, the audio itself is not actually deleted
and so no extra free disk space is created. The reason for this is that other clips may be
referring to the same bit of audio and deleting it now would corrupt other clips. Another
reason is that it would take some time to delete the audio and would slow your work down
quite considerably. If you delete clips from the library and you wish to free up any disk
space, it is probably best if you run the CLEANUP or MINIMISE routine in the SYSTEM -
DISK pages at the end of your session.
