the bin cannot be deleted.

system. The disk volume uses the drive letter ‘V:’ The disk volume can be
internal or it can be part of the K2 external storage system.

Media Media is the video, audio, and timecode source material recorded on the disk
drives. Each media type is stored in its own file, which is referenced by one or
more clips for playback.
Clip A clip references the media files stored on the media drives to allow playback of
the video and associated audio and timecode recorded from a single source.
Deleting a clip deletes the media referenced by the clip only if it is not referenced
by another clip. You can use the Find Links feature to find related assets.
