Deleting Clips From the Clip Database
Deleting Clips From the Clip Database
You use the Housekeeping tab to remove clips from the clip database. To manage the
size of the clip database, you should remove clips from the database when they are no
longer needed. When you delete clips with the Housekeeper utility you remove the
placeholder from the Aurora Playout database and the corresponding media from the
media server.
Deleting Placeholders/Clips
To immediately and permanently delete clips, bypassing the Recycle Bin:
• Select the clip(s) in the Placeholders area and click Delete .
Moving Files to the Recycle Bin
If you want to remove clips from your system but don’t want to immediately delete
them, you can move them to the Recycle Bin and later empty the bin.
To move files:
1. Select the clip(s) you want to move to the Recycle Bin.
2. Use one of the following methods to move the clip(s):
• Click the right arrow
• Drag the clip(s) from the Clips area to the Recycle Bin

To move more than one clip at a time, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting clips
and then drag the files into the Recycle Bin. You can also select a consecutive range
