Cannot delete iMovie projects

Hello

I can't delete projects iMovie on my Mac and it's really bugging me, because I could do with the extra space.

I use iMovie 10.1.2 on macOS Sierra (I'm a beta tester).

Thank you

Hey, Johny,

Many users have reported the problem of not being able to delete projects on El Capitan.  (Do not know Sierra.)  No overall solution has yet made, although several people have reported that a procedure or another has worked for them.   I heard that this is a bug that apple is working on, but it's anecdotal.

You can try to remove the support of the project first and then try to delete it.  That has worked for some.

A successful for some other solution is to create a new library, move the project of the new library and then try to delete from there - or, if it does not, remove the new library with the project inside.

Be sure that you follow the normal procedure for the removal of the projects.  In other words, open the project tree, move your cursor over the project, select the small circle that appears to the right of the title and then select project to delete in the menu dropdown.

Hope this helps,

-Rich

  • Cannot delete a project file

    I have a snapshot with four files folder in my project. I want to delete one of these files in the folder, but there is no option delete library for only one file. I tried to delete the entire folder of snapshots and try again, but I can't remove that three other files, not the folder. The option 'Delete library' is not available on the 'wrong' file or folder.

    I tried to delete the project alias and reboot, no effect.

    LabVIEW 2011 SP1

    I explain what I did to get to this point. I saved on my part of the project of the bmp.llb (in vi.lib/picture), consisting of four files and then replaced the sub-vis in the top level reading BMP File.vi with those of my project. One of them was 'Flip and Pad for photo Control.vi '. It turns out that after editing the files for my need, I'm done with a local "Flip and Pad... vi" (not referenced by any other VI in my project) and BMP.llb (referenced by my local 'read BMP File.vi').

    Finally, I just used... "Rename" to something different than BMP.llb, then the option 'delete library '. "appeared. Deleted file.

    So basically, the local file is clashing with a dependency of the same name.

  • Cannot delete old projects or create a new iMovie 10.1.2

    I made about 30 films in iMovie and deleted the first space of 10 or longer to clear some. Now when I try to delete the 'old', nothing happens, no message or anything. And the same thing when I try to start a new project. Someone knows how to solve? I tried to remove and reinstall but that doesn't seem to work, and I have about 50gig of free space. Help, please!

    You are to open the view project and deleted from there? Are these old books made in iMovie 10 or upgraded to run in iMovie 10? One thing to try is to open iMovie, hold down the command and option keys and the removal of preferences.

  • Cannot delete a project

    Greetings!

    Whenever I run the Premier Pro, one of the options is a project which I cannot find in my computer to completely remove it.

    I do a computer search for the title, even for any ".prproj' but nothing happens.

    How could remove the name to appear in the project selection window?

    Thanks for the info.

    Open the project.  In the upper left corner of the window, you will find the full file patch, so you can remove it.

  • ODI cannot delete a project - CKM reference dwgobject

    Hi all

    I am trying to remove a project and it is said that references CKM to dwgobject and can not remove it. I tried to delete the CKM and always have the same question. How should I proceed to the deletion of this.

    Thanks for your time and your help.

    Probably a model related to sewing, in the project view, if you expand the CKM and look in ' used in '-what you see? Remove all uses of the seam, and it should work.

  • Cannot delete projects in iMovie 10

    Hello. I can't delete iMovie 10 projects. In the form of projects, I click on the small circular button with three points and choose Delete Project, but nothing happens. Anyone know why I can't delete a project? How to operate?

    Thank you

    Others have reported this problem, but I'm not aware of a solution.  There was a long thread on this a little backwards.  Suggestions included

    removal of the preferences of iMovie (iMovie opened while pressing the command and option keys) and relocation of iMovie.  Delete preferably is simple, so you might try that first.

    Here's another idea: create a new backup library and to set up the project and see if you can remove it from there.   You can even delete the whole

    new library containing the project if you want.  See use of several libraries in the Help menu for instructions.  If it works, it can't cure the underlying problem, but at least it will get rid of the project.

    Good luck with that.

  • iMovie 10.1: cannot remove older project

    I have an old project of 2012 "trailer" that I'm unable to remove what I believe has been corrupted in a first time after upgrade to the latest version of iMovie.  I deleted all the media of the project but the outline | table of Storyboard | list appear to be intact and cannot be changed.  I have to re - import media and place them in the outline in order to remove?  I appreciate all help.

    Hello Brandon,.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    You can remove the annoying iMovie project from the main view of projects? For reference, here are the steps in the view and management of projects - iMovie help:

    1. For projects, move the pointer over the project that you want to manage.

    2. Click on the button to the right of the name of the project that you want to manage, and then do one of the following:

      • Delete the project: Select Delete Project.

    If this is not the case, what happens when you try? For example, you see an error message?

    Best regards.

  • Cannot delete files in the folder empty my RoboHelp projects.

    He eventually managed to delete this folder. I had to go back and find the hidden folder and delete it. BACK in fact my headache.

  • retrieve the format of an iMovie project

    can I get the components of an iMovie project from a Time Machine backup of my computer, made before the project was converted into an iMovie, if the project has since been removed?

    You must restore the time iMovie library machine. You cannot restore parts of the library as a few projects, for example.

  • What size an iMovie project maybe? Quality audio during playback

    Need big-time help from some pros iMovie 11 out there. I would like to have a more recent machine on which I could use the latest version.

    I am re-a one hour film editing, that I made for the anniversary of this year 25 years ago, and I'm afraid of project file may be too large. I have lots of sound effects and music added added that begin to abandon during reproduction, which wasn't a problem for weeks, so the project was smaller. I think pretty well I can't get all on a DVD, so I will break the film into two parts, I should have an intermission still. What can I / should I duplicate the event or project, or both and delete the last half of the movie from the original project / event and then delete the first half of the film of the copy (assuming that I can copy of in iMovie)? If possible, I think two small-sized projects would be better than a big project and event. I do not know if I must and can copy an event, since the same source files would be shared by the two smaller projects. Sorry to ramble on, but I need an intervention of paranoia here. p.s., if I connect an external USB drive to back up my iMovie project, should I just copy the files to iMovie in my users-movie file, or is there another way? Thank you, Carl.

    HI, Carlat,

    Share the lack of space on your hard drive or an external drive, there is no limit on the size an iMovie project can be.  If you have a slow computer, you may have some difficulties with it now with your editing, and there may be some stuttering or abandonment you observe.

    Your computer may not be fast enough to playback in iMovie to deal with the drafting of a major project.   Probably it's just a problem of reading and shared final project on will play well.  If the abandonment issue bothers you, your idea of dividing two projects while you work on it is good.   You can join the two projects together when you're ready to share it.  (You can take a video of 2 hours on a standard DVD disc, this project of 1 hour adapt you very well if you want to keep onto a single disc.)  As you mentioned, don't forget to save or duplicate your original project before starting it a re-release and then work on the copy.   That way if something is wrong you still have your original intact.

    I'm not as familiar with Mi9 I am with the current iM10.1.2 version, so I will let others answer additional questions.

    Have fun

  • Cannot delete the file on my Mac

    I feel so frustrated at the moment. It's my computer and my files and sometimes it says I don't have permission to delete or it is used when it is not because it is the first time I have connected the player via an ethernet cable.

    I don't know if he connection via ethernet cable makes a difference. I searched the net and cannot see messages about how to empty the things you cannot delete from the trash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Sorry, I'll try and be a little more specific. The I'm trying to delete files are video files and projects related to the soft of Adobe. When I try to delete the file, it indicates a specific folder with videos is in service. I did not open this file or folder for more than a year.

  • can you recover imovie projects in imovie 10?

    I recently deleted a project after posting to FB and then realized it was a mistake.  I'm trying to get it back, so I can fix it and wonder where will deleted projects?  It is not in my main trash, and there is no imovie trash.  Has it really gone or is there a hidden somewhere trash? (I should say project, no claws, so by selecting "rejected" doesn't work).

    The iMovie Trash is inside the packaging of Library.imovielibrary of iMovie, and it will be empty, when you quit iMovie.

    The iMovie library stores project data.  By default the iMovie library will be in your movies folder in your folder. You can restore the latest version of your iMovie Library.imovielibrary since the last backup Time Machine, what you have done, before you deleted the project.  restore this library to another folder, if you don't overwrite your current version.

  • How to change the same on 2 different phones to MAC iMovie project

    I am in Germany and my husband is in Spain and we have 2 separate not coupled Mac Book Air laptop.

    (1) I need iMovie project "edit" an unfinished which is currently on his laptop.

    (2) how can we share and both have access to the clips unfinished , events, projects iMovie, etc. between 2 laptops?

    We only know how to share projects FINISHED, but this isn't what I want to do.

    Could possibly copy us the unfinished project files on DropBox or something like that?

    Thank you

    This is possible, but not easy.  You need to work from a copy of the same library using exactly the same version of iMovie.  You cannot work directly for a copy of the library 'in the cloud', but you can use the cloud to transfer the updates to the library.  Libraries are often quite large, so download will be slow.  If the library contains many other events and projects you don't want to work on it would be better to create a library containing only the events and you need to collaborate on projects.

    Of course only one of you can be change at any time and you would have to notify each other when you have downloaded an update from the library and completed.  Its also important to avoid the update of the library while iMovie is running.

    Another important point is to ensure that the library contains all of the original media files and not of links to files in other libraries like iTunes or pictures that do not work on the other computer.  To do this, you need to "consolidate media" for more information see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351
