I noticed that when I went to do a backup of my Songs folder…it had grown massive. And I understand why. It’s because I was using one song, over and over as a kind of template… without removing the media files, etc. I was just deleting the tracks on the screen. (Yea… I’m fairly a new-bee…moved over from a Cakewalk by Bandlab environment.
But my problem came when I did Delete Unused Files - Permanently! After I did that… everything looked fine. So I did it for almost 30 of my originals… several of which were almost ready for release.
Since it seemed like everything played alright… I emptied my computer trash.
Now… most everything is gone, Months of work!
Why would it delete files that ARE used in the song?
And I’d really like a better understanding of “delete unused files”, in relation to the Pool, Media, and tracks.
Really a sickening feeling to lose that much work. Thanks for any help.
