Hi everyone,
I've checked the manual but can't find a shortcut to remove AND delete file (in media pool)from computer. I've been right-clicking/remove and delete file from computer/"Are you sure..."/yes (HELL YES!)
Thanks for your time,
Randy

The media pool doesn't really contain media. It has pointers to the media that is on your hard drive.
If you keep track of your original media when you import it, you can throw it away IF you no longer need it.
The easiest way to get rid of unused media is to "Save As" and then click the "Save Media" button. Save only necessary media.
Do NOT do this every night. You will regret not having everything you need at some point in the future. You consolidate and eliminate your un-used media at the END of the job.
