When using Final Cut Pro x, I am told that I don't have enough space when I try to produce a video. When I check to see what is using space, I see this (see below). How do I free up the space. I deleted all the files out of the Untitled library in Final Cut Pro, but I still don't even have 1 GB of free space:

Open your library in Final Cut Pro.
Select the library in the browser sidebar and go to File->Delete Generated Library Files...
Check all the boxes, including all render files.
Quit FCP and see how big the file is now.
Be surprised 😎

Your hard drive is full. Can you please give the specifications of your system. In FCP Delete Generated files from the File menu. Switch off Background rendering in the FCP preferences. Get an external SSD and move the library and media to it.
After you have done as I said before, you can take measures to help this not happen again:
1) Go to Preferences->Import and UNcheck both boxes under "Transcode". Creating optimized and proxy media uses a LOT of space and you almost need that; if you do you can create it later.
2) Go to Preferences->Playback and UNcheck "background render". Again, usually not needed, and you can render manually if needed for smooth playback.
Oh... only now did I notice that "1GB free"... boy that is BAD.
I hope you can clear some space as instructed, but do follow Tom's advice and get an external SSD for your media!
Thanks so much. Now I have 195 GB available.
