Q: Can I discard my original media files?
I used to work on iMovie for editing, but a few weeks ago I transferred to FCP. I keep getting messages from my Mac saying that my storage device is full (Macintosh), so I went over to my original media. A LOT of space is used up there; the original media is from old projects, audio and footage I used to use for iMovie (I don't use it anymore though). I'm wondering if I need to keep my original media files.. I never imported them into FCP, and the files seem like they're merely taking up space. Can I delete them from my computer?
P.S.: my friend told me to transfer the files over to my other hardware disk, but I'm unsure, I don't think I need all those files since I'm not using them.
iMovie '11, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
