Q: I want to delete all my files in Final Cut and start fresh. Will that be accomplished by deleting application and reinstalling? I am worried all the media will be there again.

If I reinstall the Final Cut X app, will all my media be there? I want to get rid of it all. Files are missing, etc. A hot mess. Seems easier to just start over but I don't want that media to show up again. Thanks. Must have had a bad day when I made my username here. Sorry.

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

TThe media is completely separate from the application. Probably in your library. DDepends on the version you're using.

The operation can’t be completed because the item “com.apple.FinalCut.LSSharedFileList.plist” is in use.

I got this message as I tried to empty trash. Final Cut X is not open. How do I get rid of this puppy? Thank you.
