I am assuming I should delete render files to free up space and to help FCPX load more quickly. It's taking about 3 minutes at the moment.
When I delete render files, should I select delete all or delete unused render files only?
Final Cut Pro X
Personal Preference. If you are looking to maximize space, delete them all. They will however rebuild if you keep the project 'loaded' for FCPX to see.
You should move the projects events you are not using using an app call Event Manager X or following instructions here:

You can safely delete render files - and you don't have to render a project before export or sharing.
If you turn off background rendering in Preferences, the render files will not automatically build up again, but of course, you need to render effects etc manually for good playback (select the clips and press Cmd+R).
As KSM suggested, moving unused Projects and Events to a new (temporary) folder will also dramatically improve launch time as well as working performance. I use Finder for this too.

(select the clips and press Cmd+R).
ummmm... that would be control-R. You can render All clips with control-shift-R (without selecting any of them.)

Correct (my mistake - sorry).

I recognize a leftover from FCP7 😉 — cmd-R was an *automatic* reflex! Strange that Apple changed it.
