With older versions I could delete old unused render files; but the new version has only "delete generated project files and then in the next window "delete render files" is the only choice.
My project is becoming huge and I need to thin it out but this no longer seems possible. Am I missing something?
Cheers.

There aren't unused project files. When you quit the application, unused project files are dumped. They're only kept while you're using the application. They're in the undo list. They're removed when you quit the application and the undo list is purged. If you select an event or a library you have the option for deleting unused render files.

Using the Regular File Commands will delete Render Files at three levels:
Stabilised footage will not delete from any of the above options.
You have to go into the Library Package Contents:
As shown, Analysis>Stabilisation Files are in a completely different folder.
They have to be deleted manually AFAIK.

Please post screenshots of what you’re doing and seeing where. The options are available in the delete generated files dialog. There may be other problems in the system causing this, but first let’s see what you’re seeing. What the OS btw?
Yes I can delete generated files but it deletes ALL of them. I do not need the stabilisation render that I did last week for example because I have reedited the clip and stabilised it again etc etc. It's the old unused ones I want to delete. That used to be an option. Alas, it seems no more. My project is a 1.5 hr video so we are talking about vast amounts of junk old renders that have been superseded.
If you cannot post screenshots we can’t help you.
Thanks.
Thanks for the extra info. Very useful.
