How to delete the doubled file after exporting through iTunes?

When I exported an iMovie project from the iPad to Mac via iTunes, it created another file about the size of the movie project (about 5GB in my case).


Now that I exported the project, I want to keep the movie on the iPad but free that extra 5GB used to prepare the file for export. How do I do that?


Thanks for any hint.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Just delete the project in the iTunes/Apps/Sharing pane.


Once you have saved the file off, you can delete it from the Sharing Pane.

IMovie uses an internal area to save the project it edits, so the project in the sharing pane is a duplicate as you say.

You can only delete this file in iTunes though.
