How do I permanently delete parts of my original video footage that I don't use for editing purposes? i.e. to save space on my hard drive.

Hi - I cant' seem to find how to permanently delete the video footage that is rubbish - can anyone help?

Hi ATR
Here is the answer of Mediainfo:
In Quicktime, what I did after trimming, was just click on "save" and not change any settings. If I click "export" instead of "save", I get the following options:
1080p...
720p...
480p...
iPad, iPhone iPad touch & Apple TV...
Audio only...
iTunes.....
Yes, If I go to Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, I see QuickTime presets listed there, I was using these successfully all the time with my Sony camera files.
And, when I drag these .mov to the project's Timeline, there is no orange line over it. (If I add the clip out if the Sony camera, there is).
Please find here one of the trimmed files that are causing the problem:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ah4x3iagvntub8t/Canon_Trimmed.mov?dl=0
One more thing I have to mention- if I take the whole AVCHD file from the SD card directly to the project (without using QuickTime at all), it gives me the message, "This file type is not supported or requires a not installed codec" (sorry I'm translating from German).
If I import the AVCHD file with the software that came with the camera (Data Import Utility), it creates a folder with all the separate mts files. If I import one of those with "add media", it tells me something like "While importing there has occured a general error".
Thank you so much for your help!

Should I delete preview files to save space on my hard drive?

Should I delete preview files to save sapce on my hard drive? At times the program crashes and I wonder whether I should get rid of these files to make more space.

PCNoviceMesa
Yes.
If you run a SD project (whether you render stills or videos) and render, you are going to get DV AVI files automatically generated. If it is a HD project, rendering deposits MPEG2.mpg files on your hard drive (whether you render stills or videos). We are talking possibly GB amounts of files if you let them pile up long enough. For Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, these preview files are by default in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0 and in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder there.
First let us see how much is piled up there before we take action against them.
If the preview files there are part of an existing project or projects, the consequence of deleting those files is that you will have to render again that content in the project to get the best possible preview. If the preview files represent project long since gone, good riddance.
Please check out the situation. And, then we can discuss also pile ups of conformed video and conformed audio files.
More later.

HT1338 how to remove vista from my mac, now that i have installed mountain lion, as i need to free up space on y hard drive

i have installed mountain lion, and now need to completely remove vista and parallels from my mac, to free up the space on my hard drive, boot camp wont help. and the new update of lion has totaly closed these two software programms

All Mac operating systems use any free space on your hard drive as virtual memory, and this virtual memory plays a part in how well your computer performs. Because of this, the more data you have on your hard drive, the less virtual memory becomes available. Therefore, in order to help increase your Mac boot time, and keep your computer running smoothly, periodically cleaning your hard drive is necessary. To clean it up you want to get rid of any old or unnecessary files. You can do this manually by removing unused applications, emptying your trash etc.,

How do I save space in my hard drive when importing pictures into lightroom

Hi, I keep my images in one internal drive and I have light room in my main drive. When I import pictures from the other internal drive, am I taking up space in my main drive which has limited space. I only want to keep the applications, such as lightroom in one drive and store my images in the other drive. I do not want to duplicate the images and use up my limited space in the main drive that has my operating system and applications

If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
Thanks.

Various ways:
Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
Then:
File -> New Smart Album
Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
will find the unwanted 150.

Is there a way for Itunes to scan your library to see which songs are missing the original files? I'd like to mass delete songs to save space on my hard drive.

Other than just attempting to play the song I'm not sure of any way to do it.

I have only synced a device on a single occasion in my life. Doesn't it say something about how many songs will transfer?
The laptop is supposed to be the master repository for everything on the iPod and they are designed to be in sync.
You can check the Dougscripts web site. There's all kinds of goodies there but I don't know if the extend to something like this. There's also third party software but again I don't know if it goes to that detail. People usually use it when they are trying to rescue content for a non-backed-up computer.

How do i permanently delete an app now with icloud

How do I permanently delete old apps off of the icloud that is on the phone now?

I fully agree darkslayer1234. If the app was free why is it still attached to my history? even if I paid for it I (and that's a BIG CAPITAL I) should have the freedom to delete it and risk paying again. This history thing *****, how many years will I be haunted by immature, inappropriate apps that I had 'thrown away"?
Someone at the planning stage just did not consider the full effect on the end user.
Apple should allow me to export my WANTED apps to a new account and disable the old one!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine makes local snapshots in all portable Macs with Lion or Mountain Lion. They are made in the internal drive and they are removed when your hard disk gets full, so you don't have to worry about it.
If you want to delete them, turn off Time Machine and turn it on every time you want to make a backup. You can also turn them off manually without having to turn off Time Machine, or you can delete those local snapshots > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html

TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

How can I permanently delete subfolders in email Trash?

I have been getting duplicate email messages in one of my email folders for several weeks. I think it started when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.6. I have RoadRunner as a mail server and have not had this problem before on either my iMac or a previous PC. I read many many support messages regarding duplicate email messages from this board and tried many of the hopeful fixes but none of them worked on a permanent basis.
I do not have any other electronic machines that hold or try to access my email. I did, however just order a new laptop and would really like to get the duplication problem fixed before I receive the new computer.
I have 2 email addresses on one server (RoadRunner). They each have their own folder in Mail Inbox, one is labeled Personal and the other is labeled Business. I can send and receive email from my Personal address but I can only RECEIVE mail from my Business address. I receive the duplicate messages in my Business Inbox folder.
I have deleted messages only to see them reappear the next time I open the folder. Some of the 'fixes' I tried caused me to have 3 or 4 duplications. I noticed that all the instances of a message and its duplications would go to the Trash folder when I used the delete feature. My Trash Folder also has 2 subfolders, one for Personal and one for Business. I noticed that when I try to drag a deleted message from the Trash/Business folder it would not allow itself to be placed back in the Inbox/Business folder. But when I dragged the deleted message from the main Trash Folder to the Inbox/Business folder it would allow itself to be deposited. So, I deleted the subfolders under the Trash Folder and all seemed to be great. No more duplicated. But - the subfolders keep reappearing when I reopen mail. I have deleted the subfolders each time, but they won't stay deleted. How do I permanently delete the Trash subfolders?

You are seeing an intentional but strange feature of GMail... nothing is ever deleted, and instead remains forever in All Mail. You probably want to just hide All Mail from Mail, so that you don't have to see it and don't have all those messages syncing back to your Mac. See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail. There has been one change on GMail since I wrote that, though... you no longer have to go to Labs and turn on Advanced IMAP.

They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process. see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.
