  • Help with problem after quitting Avid Xpress Pro HD

    Posted by Josh Miller on December 25, 2005 at 8:35 am

    Hi,
    I just bought Avid Xpress Pro HD, and I started it up correctly and was using it when it suddenly froze and wouldn’t respond, which probably was due to a application in the background. I ended up having to end the Avid process using the Windows Task Manager. When I later checked my C: hard drive I noticed that several gigs had been taken up, not from the Avid installation but from something else, which I think were probably the temporary files which didn’t delete when I prematurely quit Avid. Can someone help me find these files and delete them?
    Thanks
    Josh M

    Check to see if you have an Avid OMFI MediaFile folder on your C drive. In there you will see another folder called “Creating” check in there and delete its contents.

    Thanks for the reply, I searched for the folder with Windows Search but I didn’t find anything. Do you know of any other places it could be?

    The folder will be at the root level of the drive called “OMFI MediaFiles”. Look in there.
