Deleting ableton live samples?

Post by yamaz » Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:09 am

My hard drive is full on my mac and my ableton directory is huge. I mistakingly started saving my songs all in the same project file....so basically there is a samples directory with 6+ GB of samples in it. I'm wondering which I can delete, what are temporary files or samples I no longer need to keep. I dont want to go and delete a bunch and then try and open songs up later and realize those waveforms are gone for good.

Thx peepz ;)

Couldn't you do a collect all and save on the entire project folder and then go to "manage files" and delete the unused samples? I think that would get you around deleting anything you might need elsewhere. Could be wrong.

Anyone else can give feedback on this? I have a ton of freeze tracks, like 5 GB worth, and with about 20 songs in the same 'project folder' - and I'm wondering if there is a way to find and delete the ones that I'm not using in any of those songs?
