Q: iMovie 10.1.2: Delete Media from Event

Something that doesn't appear to have been documented in the switch from iMovie 10.1.1 to 10.1.2 is that when you right-click on a clip in an Event, you no longer see the option to "Move to Trash," which would send the clip to the system trash (where it could be recovered if necessary). Instead, we now have "Delete Media from Event" which appears to immediately delete the clip. You can Undo this if you do it right away, but the delete clip seems to completely disappear--it doesn't show up in the System Trash.


The same goes when you right-click an entire Event. If you choose Delete Event, the entire event is deleted and disappears from iMovie.

 

Or am I missing something--does anyone know where those clips and events could be recovered from if they're accidentally deleted?

    If you right click on the event you get a pop up menu that has the option to Delete Event.  It works.  I just tried it.  I had a LOT of events that I could not determine how to delete until this point.  My version 10.1.2 was getting REALLY slow.
