Deleting Raw Files without deleting proxy files

Hello,

Another newbie question, is Deleting Raw Files without deleting proxy files possible? If it is, anyone have done this? I am thinking of implementing this but cannot find a way. Any suggestion / help is highly appreciated

If what you want to do is delete the original file without deleting the proxies, the easiest way would be to set up an device for Archives. Then you can archive the asset, which will move the original file to the archive location without deleting the proxy and database records for that Asset. Once that is done you can just delete the file from the archive location.
