I've deleted several events in iMovie and emptied the Trash, but they are still visible in Finder. I am trying to free up space on my HD. Any ideas how to actually delete these files without going into the Finder window and deleting them? TIA.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
Deleted items in iMovie 10 don't go to the trash and are deleted only when iMovie is quit.
If you updated events from iMovie 9 you will need to delete the events from the events folder as well since iMovie 9 and 10 share the same copy of original media using hard links.
An alternative to deleting events is to move them into a different library and to archive that library on an off-line volume (eg. memory stick). That way you still have the possibility to re-load your event should you decide after all to do some more work with it.

Thanks. That's kind of a pain in the butt. I deleted the files in Finder. That worked.
