Clean Audio Folder dialog
The Tools-Clean Audio Folder command opens the Clean Audio Folder
dialog box. Use this command to delete digital audio files from an audio
data folder that are no longer used by any of your projects. You should use
this command from time to time to free up disk space.
Important: Make sure that all of your important project (.
CWP and .WRK)
files are stored in your local hard disk(s) before using this command. If your
project files are stored elsewhere, such as a floppy drive, removable drive,
or network drive, you risk accidentally deleting important audio files that are
associated with your projects.
Note: The Cakewalk Audio Finder (CWAFTool) is a more advanced utility
for finding and removing unused projects and audio files. This utility can be
installed from the AutoRun menu of the SONAR CD. If you have an older
version of Cakewalk, you can download the Cakewalk Audio Finder from
the Cakewalk Website.
Under Windows, deleted files are normally placed in the Recycle Bin. As a
result, you should empty the Recycle Bin after using the Clean Audio
Folder command, or the unused files will still physically remain on your
hard disk.
If you are using another utility program that protects you from accidentally
deleting important files (such as Norton Protect), you may need to disable
that program. Otherwise, the next time you use the Clean Audio Folder
command you may once again find these not-quite deleted files.
The Clean Audio Folder dialog box has the following fields:
Audio Path
Specify the directory in which you want to search for audio files.
Recurse
When checked, SONAR searches for audio files in all folders within the
Audio Path directory.
File window
The file window lists all the unused audio files that SONAR finds.
