Can’t delete file
At the start of a new project, I’m trying to delete obvious bad takes out of my Explorer window as I go. After previewing them in the trimmer, I close the trimmer, press delete in Explorer window and get “The action can’t be completed because the file is open in Vegas. Close the file and try again.”
But, the file isn’t on the timeline, isn’t in the project media bin and the trimmer window isn’t open with the file in it. How come I can’t delete it?

I would delete the file from within Vegas. It just makes everything a lot easier. Right-click the media in the Project Media tab and select Remove from Project and Delete File(s). This way it cleans up all the .sfk, etc. files that Vegas tends to generate.

Hey John, that’s part of what I don’t understand– it’s not IN project media, never put on the timeline, and was never imported to project media; simply previewed in the trimmer from Explorer.
I’m sure I can do it in Explorer with Vegas closed, but they’re MXF files and wouldn’t be able to view them (that I know of).

Clear your Trimmer history and then try deleting it.
