  Way to remove/delete PProject and files

  Posted by Perry Cheng on March 12, 2009 at 8:58 pm

  Upon completion of a project, how to remove all the cache, temp files, rendered files… What is best practice? Obviously, saving them in a directory will be good and then delete out the entire directory, but would premiere do this for you if you have things scattered?

  If everything is in one folder it is simple to remove with one click.
  If things are scattered? Alas Premiere will not do this for you.

  Thanks AnnBen. That’s my conclusion as well. But I do not know what others do here. I know the cost of HDD is no issue anymore, but, as a neat freak, sometimes, I like to clean up my folders. What I end my doing was 1. Create a folder (with other subfolders in it) 2. Backup my clean folder and subdirectories to elsewhere. 3. Write a simple .bat file to delete the “used folders” along with the “preview folders” in another drive, and then copy over the clean one. That way, I don’t have to remember where things are.

  rd /s v:\PProFolders
  rd /s t:\PProAVPreviewFolder
  xcopy t:\PremiereFolders /e V:

  Thanks anyway.
