<para> Cleanup looks for audio files that were recorded by ardour for this
|
|||
|
|
session, but are no longer in use. "In use" means "present in any
|
|||
|
|
playlist in any snapshot of the session". If you have unused playlists
|
|||
|
|
(e.g. alternate takes) cleanup will volunteer to delete them for you.
|
|||
|
|
then it will search all snapshots (including the one you are working
|
|||
|
|
with), and move all unused captured audio files into the "dead_sounds"
|
|||
|
|
directory within the session. At this point, you could still
|
|||
|
|
potentially get material that was "cleaned up" back, though its quite
|
|||
|
|
tricky to do.

It is advisable, even <emphasis>firmly recommended</emphasis> that after this cleanup
|
|||
|
|
step, you save the session, exit ardour and restart. This will enable
|
|||
|
|
you to confirm that the session still works as expected. If all goes
|
|||
|
|
well (and it should), you can then do the 2nd phase cleanup, which will
|
|||
|
|
remove the files from the <filename>dead_sounds</filename> directory (at which point,
|
|||
|
|
the material is not recoverable without backups on your part).

Note that the presence of snapshots can cause user confusion, as in
|
|||
|
|
"why didn’t cleanup do anything?" The answer is frequently that there
|
|||
|
|
are all capture audio files are in use in this snapshot or in others.
