How do I delete old projects on MEP 16 to free up drive space?

I have edited several projects on MEP 16. How can I delete the older projects to free up some memory on my C drive? Do I have to navigate to each folder  and delete manually or is there an easier way?

Thank you gentlemen. I have decided to create an .iso image for each movie to backup on a portable drive before manually deleting.

Regards

Bob

Hi

It is manual deletion only, however if each project is entirely within its own folder than it is quickest to delete the folder, all the contents will be deleted within it.  

Once deleted, and you have emptied the recycle bin, they will be gone forever. Any activities which write to the disc may use the space you have freed, so make sure you have backups - you never know when you will need something from an old project.

Hi,

A project can contain: 1) Original video file (size big), original picture (size max 5 meg per picture) the MVP file that is small size all file must be saved before to delete.

Now when you burn a project you create an image file this is a complete video file and this is big sometime up to 4 gig most of time is not necessary to backup these files because you have created a DVD or a B-R of these file. You can delete these image file.

I am not like to delete the files in item 1 but image file can be remake easily if you keep item 1 on your hard disk.

Regards,
