SFK files littering my folders

Did we lose the check box to delet temp files upon closing V5? I just did a run of audio samples and have an sfk in every folder I took from -- and I can't find the check box in preferences. Am I missing it? Going psychotic? Both?

The sfk files contain the wavform data that Vegas uses. You can safely delete them. You're confused with the temporary prerendered files which usually reside all in the one folder.
If they really bug you, just use Windox Explorer Search for *.sfk to find them all, select all and delete. Even if you goof and delete one that you need next time you open the veggie Vegas will rebuild it.

I don't think I was clear. There's usually an option in Preferences that will automatically delete the sfk files when you close out the program. I can't find that option in V5 preferences.

I'll have to look in V4, never knew it was there!
Pretty trivial task to get rid of them when no longer needed although with what I'm doing at the moment they do kind of muddy up the explorer window.

Soundforge has the option to delete temporary files, but I don't recall ever seeing this in the Vegas options.

farss - I quite often choose to view files by type rather than name for this very reason!
