    Hello.

    I’ve installed FCP, but it seems like 7gb of Motion-stuff also was installed. Is it safe to remove a folder called i.e. content.localized or previews.localized ? Or will that result in me losing some effects in Final Cut?
    I mean they take 7gb! And I only need a few FXs…

    What are some safe Motion-related folders to erase?

    The Motion content that takes up all that space is located in:

    Macintosh HD-Library-Application Support-Final Cut Studio-Motion

    You can remove this whole folder. If you do, Motion will still open, but won’t have any of the fancy content in it.
