    Select the composition you wish to preserve and then go to Flie/ Reduce Project. This will get rid of the unused media in your AE project but will not delete them from your HD. If you have files scattered all over your computer and external Hard Drives then use File/ Collect Files and they will all be copied into one central place.

    Sure. Check out the Reduce Project feature. It should do what you want.

    I do this often. However, I first increment and save, THEN reduce.

    hopefully one of your accounts is still active 6 years later haha
    I’m about to partake in this, is there a way to specifically set the place you wish to consolidate to? (I’m on CS6)
