Delete Generated Library Files quirk

Delete Generated Library Files quirk was created by ffg
I've been using this new function to clean out some completed libraries, and most go down to a few MB when I delete all the render files. But some don't, they stay at many GB. When I look into the Libraries in Finder, none of the folders contain anything that size. Is something being hidden, or not deleted that should be deleted?

Only thing that comes to mind is whether you're checking the All button in the dialog.
It works as advertised here. I just cleared out a 3.4 GB library that I created specifically for testing and eliminating all the renders and transcoded media shrank it to 700 MB.

Thanks Russ, yes I clicked the All button, must be something else going on I guess.

Check one of the problematic Libraries: are the Cache files kept inside the Library? If so you may have an Analysis Files folder in the Library. Analysis files (for Optical Flow, stabilizing etc...) can get really big and they don't get deleted by the "Delete Generated Media" command.
