thanks bunch, ben!

benl,

 

it depends on might wish in future. if totally done project, , never revisit it, or use assets in other projects, can use windows explorer delete them all.

 

one can use project archiver store projects on, external, in case 1 later wishes revisit it.

 

i work either copies of assets (stored on nas), or in case of captured material, retain original minidv tapes, can delete root folder of project, , clear things out, if know i'll never revisit project.

 

if wish clean project, keep around, can delete render files, cfa & pek files, , burn folder video_ts folders. can either recreated (the cfa & pek done automatically), or created again, burn folder.

 

hope helps, , more complex answers, need "crystal ball" bit, , let know whether ever need asset, or revisit project again.

 

good luck,

 

hunt
