Delete items from libraries in Final Cut Pro for Mac
You can delete unwanted clips and projects. You can also delete an entire event from your library to free up storage space. When you delete a clip or a project from an event, or delete an entire event, the source media files are moved to the Trash. There’s one exception: Media that is being used by other projects in your library always remains in the library.
Note: Libraries must contain at least one event.
In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select the event you want to delete or delete items from.
Do one of the following:
Delete items from the event: Select the clips or projects you want to remove, then choose File > Move to Trash (or press Command-Delete).
Note: You can’t select clips and projects at the same time.
Delete the entire event: Choose File > Move Event to Trash (or press Command-Delete).
The selected items are deleted. To permanently delete the source media files from your Mac or storage device, empty the Trash.
WARNING: After the Trash is emptied, the deleted clips and their associated source media files can’t be restored.
