How to delete the whole file so that the temp wav. also goes away?

Hello,

I've been recording pretty steady for a few months now and have noted my hard disk space being used up. I went to delete a bunch of old tracks and found that it helped very little. I then found 33 gigs of space in the vegas file. These files are poorly labled and it is hard to tell which file goes with which song.

The question then is: How do you delete the entire song the veg. file and its accompaning (and hidden) wav. files? And are there any suggestions in terms of setting up tracks in such a way the the veg. an associated wav. tracks remain together? I've got a 4 gig drive and have 6 gigs left with one file taking 33 gigs of space.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you

Kevin

you should set up you preferences so that the files that Vegas creates are placed in different folders. The next thing to do is to have Vegas to prompt you after having recorded and rename the files to something familiar in the post record dialog. This helps you sort out what's what later on.

The path of the folders is specified in the project properties dialog. If you set this up for every project and it's a good way to keep organized. If this is left as is; then by default all of the files Vegas creates will be placed in the Vegas folder as Vegas has no idea where you want them and it would be in bad form if Vegas placed files all over an users system.

Thanks for that quick reply. What you say will be helpful. Is there any way to delete the entire file with out having to search out the corresponding wav. files?

Thanks again
