Alternately, you can delete the specific project folder from the master "Avid Projects" folder on your C: drive. And don't forget to clean out the attic!

Can all of that NOT be accomplished by the Media Tool?

"... Can all of that NOT be accomplished by the Media Tool? ..."

It's a tool for media management, not project management. So, no. However, Media Tool can help you delete all the "media" for a project.

Thanks for clarifying. Can you also point me to a download for MC v5.0.3 user guide? We upgraded via download and didn't receive any hard or digital copies of the manual.

Thanks,

Lindsay

That is correct, but a qualified search on the Knowledge Base should easily find it, and right now it does not. The web team is currently working on that issue.

I don't delete old projects from the listing.

With Avid shut down, I navagate in Windows to the "Avid Projects" folder. I create a folder called "Old Projects" inside the Avid Projects folder, then I just move the projects I don't need to the "Old Projects" folder.

The "Old Projects" folder (or any other folder inside the "Avid Projects" folder) doesn't show up in the "Select Project" window on startup.

So the projects are still available if needed, yet don't clutter up the Projects listing.

Yes it should, an assistant of mine downloaded it not so long ago. To remain topic: I never trash old projects but I archive them.

Also, when removing or archiving old projects, don't forget to clean out the attic!

I hate cleaning the Attic. You get so dusty...

I'm also one that manages project folders from Explorer, for exactly the same reason as the two posts above. That way you can keep a backup should you need it.

I believe the MC5 manuals can be found here (It's where they are on my machine.):
