I see that I have tons of these on my hard drive and I also see that they are not all tiny files so I would like to delete them if it is okay. Permission to delete please?
Undo Buffer:
This is the temporary file created before you do any processing to a project. This undo buffer allows the ability to revert to previous versions of the project if you decide you don't like changes you've made to the project. This undo buffer is erased when the file is closed or when you choose Clear Edit History from the Edit menu.
From the DVDA manual.
Options - Prefs - Editing - Limit number of Undo buffers to (0 to 9999)
Select this box and type a number in the box if you want to want to limit the number of undo buffers that will be created. Reducing the number of undo buffers can conserve memory.
Since the Vegas manual says they're supposed to be deleted when it closes, I say go ahead and delete them.
Make sure that only temp files are in there and not *.bak files as these should not be deleted unless you're done with the project that they reference.
Okay, thanks guys, that felt good. I just deleted over 2300 of those suckers with a combined file size of over 3.66gb!! They have been building up since August of 2008 so it was time for some house cleaning. So, did I understand correctly? Would it be possible rename a .tmp file to a .veg or .bak and open as a project? That is handy to know if that is the case.
