Please tell me how to clean up the library while using Final Cut

I want to continue one task, but the hard disk capacity is used too quickly.

First, switch off background rendering in preferences. Second, select the library and use Delete Generated Library Files from the File menu.


You should keep at least 15% of the drive free. If you are having trouble doing that you’ll need to think about moving your library and media off onto a fast external drive.
