media server.
Unprotecting a clip
Protected clips are identified with a P in the rightmost column of the Housekeeping tab, and cannot
be deleted.
To delete a protected clip, you have to unprotect it before moving it into the Recycle Bin.
1. Double-click the desired clip.
2. Uncheck the Protected checkbox.
3. Click OK .
You can now move the clip into the Recycle Bin and delete it.

If you think the clip database may have changed since you opened the Housekeeper utility, you can
refresh the clip list so you see the most recent list from which to choose files.
• Click the Refresh Clip List button .
The list refreshes with any changes.
Deleting clips from a media server only
You can delete clips from the media server without deleting the placeholder from the Aurora Playout
database.
Rather than deleting clips, if you want to update a clip after it has been sent to a media server for
playback, you can overwrite it by associating the new sequence with the same placeholder.
1. On the Housekeeping tab, right-click on the clip you want to remove.
2. Choose Delete clip from media servers .
