Read this and printed it out from you years ago, but something that we all need to do during regular maintenance on our editing equipment. Having enough storage is an ongoing challenge. Glad to be able to use this tip to free up some space.

It builds a column-style list of what folders contain the most space, enabling you to quickly find where disk space is consumed: www. They contain no media, proxies or cache, just the edits themselves in "lean" libraries. However -- if you've been using FCPX for a long time and have lots of old projects, the space can slowly add up.
But on my machine I've worked on huge productions for years and have never deleted any backups, and the total space is only 59GB. You do not need the backup files but for safety I would never delete those. They can be safely copied to some external drive for archival storage. If you ever need one in the future you can just copy it back and double-click on it to load in FCPX. If you have lots of older libraries from past projects, those also will take up space.
They often contain render files, proxy files, etc. It is easy to use and very safe. It will not delete anything valuable: www. Hi Joema, thank you for your response. Background rendering has been turned off since I installed the program I have had a little bit of experience with Final Cut Pro before and I know well enough to turn that off. The thing is there are about three files out of around 7 here that are around gb in size 3 huge files and I don't know the impact of deleting some of these but I need to in order to carry on working I'm just terrified of deleting one of those huge files and the impact it will have on my current project.
Would it be best to buy an external HDD and start putting these libraries on there 1 by one and then deleting them off the iMac and see how that goes? LemonSurprise wrote:. Hi joema, thank you for the in-depth and informative reply.
I went ahead and got a 1TB hard drive and copied across literally gb of libraries across that I wanted to delete to free up space on my iMac. My only problem now is that the video is still crashing upon export it just says "Preparing to share" and then you get the beach ball icon and it says not responding on the application icon when you right-click.
You can view the progress of rendering in the Background Tasks window. Select one or more clips in the Final Cut Pro browser. Select one or more projects in the Final Cut Pro browser. In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select one or more events in the same library. Note: If you choose to delete all render files in an event, any project render files in that event are also deleted.
In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select a library.
