Deleting a Completed Project

[Jakester]

What is the best way to delete a project once it is completed?

I end up having to do a Windows search on the folder where the project resides and then manually deleting the files.

Is there a cleaner way to remove all the files associated with a project? I haven't been able to find any documentation on this.

Thanks.

Jakester,

The key is to plan ahead, as outlined in this FAQ from the Adobe Premiere Elements forum:

Without this preparation, you are bound to do it as you already have.

While Bryon's response is the best solution, you might want to check out Picasa2 or Google Desktop. Both are free and legit (no crapware, spyware, etc.).

Picasa2 is a great tool that will organize your photos and video. It will automatically scan all local drives and present the results in an already organized (and customizable) fashion. There are many other useful features.

Google Desktop is a much better local search tool than Window's own indexing.

Again, Bryon is right on with what you need, but I have found both of the apps that I recommended useful when searching my local drives.

Cool, I had been that already. It seemed quite inituitive.

I am a lucky rookie. I have been doing as this link suggests. It makes things a whole lot easier on yourself.
