Deleting Unused Assets

I have been working on a site for over a year, and I have
accumulated many images in the folder that I no longer need. I am
looking for an easy way to find assets that are not being used and
delete them in bulk. I have seen this feature in other web design
programs, but I cannot find it in dreamweaver. Hunt-and-find will
take forever because many current and old images have very similar
names and I'm afraid to delete an image that is currently in use.
Thanks.

Post Cap & deleting unused asset shells

Hi There
Two questions I need assistance on :
1. How to identify whether asset shell was created with post cap indicator ticked. When creating an asset shell that requires post cap depreciation treatment it is very important to have the post cap indicator ticked. If not, depreciation is all lumped with current year depreciation allocation. Audit issue. Idea is to check unposted asset shells BEFORE settlement rule from PS adds value, so that correction can be made proactively. However, cannot find any report or table that carries this info.
2. our system has been configured that user will input capitalisation date when creating asset shell. This prevents asset shell being deleted if incorrect. Normally we lock asset shell in such cases. However, when doing fiscal year change at end of year these assets cause AJRW to end in error. How can we delete these shells before running ARJW?
Your assistance will be appreciated.

Hi Ajay
1. We manually populate capitalisation date so it is mandatory in any case. So cannot settle to shell without capitalisation date. It was a requirement upon implementation to seperate depreciation in GL between current year portion and that part relating to previous year. If post cap block is ticked, it does exactly that when doing ABNAN, but if post cap block is not ticked when creating asset shell depreciation is not seperated in GL and all lumped in current year. Hence the need to ensure users do tick post cap block when creating asset shell that has a prior year date in service.
2. Yes u are correct. Shell was created but no value added. When I say ARJW end in error it does show the traditional "red message" but stangely it allows posting with these "errors"??? The message is : asset 12345-2 cannot be processed.
Thanks.

How to delete unused audio files in a project?

Hi guys,
The question is fairly simple:
How to delete unused audio files in a project?
I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
Thanks,
Fred

Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos??

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700 pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

HOW TO Delete Unused Media from FINAL CUT PRO

*HOW TO DELETE UNUSED MEDIA FROM HARD DRIVE IN FINAL CUT PRO.* Keywords: disk disc drive space remove compressor
SUMMARY:
Say your original clip is 10 gigs, you can use only what you need and delete the rest from your hard drive. I know people on the forums say to just buy another hard drive, NO! It took 2 days to figure out but here it is!!! Email me if needed at [email protected]
QUESTION:
I captured 1 hour of video at a time and now want to delete from my hard drive all the parts I don’t want to use. I have 300GB of junk on my hard drive and I only want to use a few scenes using a few megabytes, so that I'll get most of my 300GB back!!!!
ANSWER:
In final cut on Mac, click on one small clip (to get familiar with process), go to “file”, “export”, then “using compressor”. This will open compressor software. Your file will open in the left top window. Then you need to batch the job or jobs. IMPORTANT: I’ve also solved the Compressor problem when you press “submit” to a batch and it states “Cluster: None”. Search forum for “In compressor you experience what I have”.
<Edited by Moderator>

Part of the problem could lie in the fact it's an imovie project coming into FCP, wouldn't rule that out. Second my be the terms you use and what you expect to happen. For example, a subclip is just a smaller clip subbed from a larger clip. It has nothing to do with media management. But you can media manage a subclip and delete the unused media.
Try this (be sure to back up the original clip first). take a long clip into the viewer, make an IN and OUT duration of like 30 frames and then subclip that, Modify > Make Subclip. a new subclip will appear in the browser with a torn clip icon and the name Subclip. Right click on the subclip and choose Media Manager.... Check the Delete unused media from duplicated clip. As you toggle that the green Modified bar at the top change from the full clip size to a tiny modified size. If it does not then one of two things ... user error or the system is screwed up. That's the easiest way to test media manager.

Deleting unused media in Media Manager not working

This is one of those cases where I get really frustrated with Apple...
I've captured some footage from VHS using 'capture now', and the media that was created has a bunch of blank frames at the beginning and end. I'd like to remove the excess media from the clip to save space.
I'm following the directions EXACTLY as shown in the section "Creating Independent Media Files From Subclips After Capturing" from the Final Cut Pro User Manual on page 377 selecting subclips I want to keep and using Media Manager to delete unused media, but my media hasn't gotten any smaller, and the blank frames in the original media are still there if I reconnect it.
Furthermore, I've tried using media manager to copy the referenced media (from a subclip) to a new clip, and it just copies the whole file.
How can I get rid of this excess waste of space!!?

Well, does this footage have timecode? A REEL number? If you captured as NON-CONTROLLED device the footage might not have timecode, and without timecode the Media Manager cannot track exactly what you want to remove...what footage you want set aside and copied as the rest is deleted. This is also the case if you don't have a reel number. You might have 5 clips all with the same starting timecode but no reel number.

How to delete an asset with a capitalization date inefaceable and no value?

Hi all,
An asset was created on the wrong asset class. I would like to erase it but this is impossible because of the capitalization date.
Indeed, I cannot change the fields status variant of the capitalization date, it is compulsory.
Furthermore, as this asset was an error, there are no values on it.
I tried to enter a deactivation date, but this is not possible because of no acquisition performed.
Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible to erase an asset even if a capitalization date has been entered in the master data?
If it is possible, how can I do?
Thanks for help

Hi,
This is the drawback in asset master, when you make cap date as mandatory for AS01 transaction.
As a standard practice, cap date gets updated automatically when posting MIGO / F-90 only along with the qty.
In your case, first ask your ABAP member to delete the values from cap date field from table ANLA. (Field Name: AKTIV) for your questioned asset.
Then you can delete that asset with AS06 by choosing Physically delete the asset.
This will resolve your issue.
But if you make your field status as optional to cap date, then you must not got these kind of issues in the future.

Deleting unused footage in the Event library?

I always make an edit of my videos and therefore end up with a fair amount of footage in each event which is not needed any more.
Is there a way of deleting unused footage from a specific project from it's event?

Use the Reject Tool to drag with your mouse over the frames you don't need. They will be marked with a red bar underneath. If you want to reject a whole clip, you can right-click and reject the clip that way too.
Then, select "Rejected Clips Only" in the selection box at the bottom.
Finally, click "move rejected clips to trash".

Is is possible to delete an Asset physiscally when its value is zero?

Hi All,
Is it possible to delete an Asset physically after is been used and its value is made zero or some other way?
Regards,
Sudheer K

Hi,
If it is in a test environment you can try OABL.
However, in production system, you can't/supposed to do that. You can delete with AS06 provided no transaction has beep posted to an asset.

How do I invert a selection in iMovie 11/ delete unused portions of clips

I want to delete unused portions of clips:
In iMovie 11 an orange bar appears at the bottom of a clip to show that that portion of the clip is being used in a project.
If I click on the orange bar, the yellow clip selection extends to that portion of the clip.
I want to invert the selection so that the portion of the clip that is not used is selected so that I can reject it and later delete unused portions.
If there is another way to do that then great...
Thanks
David

I think it might be easier to first finish the project with all that extra video clip lying around and then use the Space Saver to tidy things up. It's under the File Menu and is always done at the very end when you have already Finalized your project.
From the iMovie Help:
In the Event Library, select one or more Events.
To select more than one Event at a time, press Command as you click Event names.
Choose File > Space Saver.
The File menu appears in a light gray bar across the top of your computer screen.
Select any of the following:
To reject all of the video that hasn’t been added to an iMovie project, select “Not added to any project.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked as “favorite,” select “Not marked as Favorite.”
To reject all of the video that you haven’t marked with a keyword, select “Not marked with a keyword.”
Click “Reject and Review.”The view changes to show only the rejected clips in the selected Events.
*Note: This is not the full listing of Help for the Space Saver function but you get the idea. It seems as though Apple thinks it's a much better use of your time to put off the house keeping tasks like cleaning up unused video until after you have Finalized the project.

Media Manager not deleting unused media from HDV (intermediate codec) clips

I have a project which uses HDV footage which I captured using the Apple Intermediate Codec. I now have a bunch of clips that are very large in file size so I'd like to use the Media Manager to delete all the unused footage from the clips. I have tried countless different selections of sequences, clips in the browser, clips in a timeline etc but can't seem to get the Media Manager to show a smaller file size for the processed files based on 'Use Existing' with 'Delete unused media' option. The two size meters at the top always stay the same. Can the media manager trim HDV/Apple Intermediate Codec footage? If not is there a way to get rid of the footage that I haven't used? Thanks!
Ben

I've never mastered MM. If I want a small section out of larger clip, I simply just export that section of the clip using 'current settings'.
Hope someone who has tamed the MM beast will step in here and offer you a better way...
good luck.

Invalid entry on asset prior to deletion of asset

Hi Friends,
For one Asset, there was an amount booked on 30.09.2009 for currency SEK and then reversed 11.12.2009. However, there is a difference in the USD amounts for Depreciatin Area 32 (Group Book in Group Currency-USD) but no SEK amounts.
Zero value in Depreciation area 01
but 8.58 USD in Depreciation area 32
I can see that amount it looks like a USD exchange rate problem.
The amount on the asset should not be there - the amount on the asset should not be there - customer requesting that this entry be removed so asset can be closed.
Can any body assit on this how to clear this amount.
Thanks
Venkata

HI Bernhard,
Yes, you are right.
This a difference between transaction currency and depreciation area currency.
Transaction currency is SEK
and Dep Area currency is USD (32 dep area)
and the posting made in Tra Cur (01) and Dep area currency (32) as below:
30.09.2009     71,480.69-     116     Acquisition - internal settlement to AuC     SEK
11.12.2009     71,480.69     116     Acquisition - internal settlement to AuC     SEK
30.09.2009     10,156.69-     116     Acquisition - internal settlement to AuC     USD
11.12.2009     10,148.11     116     Acquisition - internal settlement to AuC     USD
So the difference in Dep area (32) is 10,156.69 - 10,148.11 = 8.58.
I request you to let me know how to clear 8.58 from dep area 32 so that I can delete the asset from books.
Thanks
Venkat

Deletion of asset

Hi Guru's,
How to delete asset suppose i created asset and posted depriciation for some periods these assets how to delete could you explain me.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi
For deleting the asset you can use AS06 Transaction as said above.
But you told already the depreciation is posted.
Then you need to Reverse the Acquisition Amount and re run the depreciation, the your Asset netbook value will be zero and then you can delete the Asset.

Venkat

Deletion of asset class

Hi
Can anyone advise how do I make use of program RACLSDEL for deletion of asset class?
One of the Requirements:
You must first mark the asset classes for deletion.
How do i mark the asset class for deletion? In transaction OAOA i can only block the asset class and not delete.
Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Hi Sui,
In addition to what has been said, make sure there is no <b>Asset Master</b> within the system using the Asset Class you intend to delete. Otherwise, deletion would not be possible.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob
