Finding Hidden Files in the Library was created by Videopixels
Hi there.
I have a number of Projects and Events in a Library that I am now finished with - the size is huge and I would like to dump unnecessary files.
I would like to find out two things once I show the package contents of the Library folder:
1. Where can I find the clips that were transcoded and uploaded to Youtube (I assume they exist somewhere on the hard drive).
2. Can I delete all the files in "Render Files" & "Analysis Files" folders not that the media is gone.
Many thanks, would really appreciate the help.

1. Look for a folder called "Shared Items"
2. Not only you can delete render files and analysis files, but you can also delete transcoded media.
The general idea is that you can delete anything that can be easily rebuilt. Transcoded media (especially if you created optimized media) is likely to be the great source of reclaimed disk space.

Fantastic, thank you!
I generally just delete the transcoded/optimized media in the folder itself so the offline clips remain in the project and I can re-link if ever need be.
But great, thanks again.
