iMovie Library still taking up storage
I'm having a problem that doesn't seem uncommon for iMovie users. However, all solutions I've found have not been applicable to my specific situaiton. In the app, my iMovie Library is essentially empty. At least it's not 50 GB worth of content which is what my Mac is telling me exists. Even in my iMovie Library/Show Package Contents, the only files in there is what I currently have.
To preface this, I had the issue with 100 GB a couple of days ago and just ended up deleting the entire iMovie file which caused iMovie to act all weird and randomly crash. I restarted my computer, uploaded 2 hours worth of basic video (definitely not 50 gigs worth) and the app began working properly again. There's no extra files or "events" anywhere that I've been able to find. Should I delete the entire file again or is there a step I'm missing?
