Edits Folder

Cubase
1

Hi
I have Cubase 13 Pro
I’ve noticed the edits folder for one of my projects is huge.
As I’m done with editing is it OK to delete al the edit files in this folder ?

Hi,

You would need to Render in Place or Bounce Selection all the Audio Tracks, to make sure, you are not using the Edits anymore.

Thanks Martin

Also, these ‘edit’ files mount up if you use the ‘Direct offline processing’. Going to your ‘Audio’ menu and choosing ‘make direct offline processing permanent’ will do them all at once…but just for the files that used it. Bounce and Render in Place will take care of the rest…maybe they do them too…I don’t know. Hope this helps.

Thanks. If I use back up, the folder size drops even lower so I’ve done that

So uhm… yeah. The “solution” didn’t work for me.

I imported about 8 tracks from a 2.5 hour rehearsal. Performed some normalization. Did the “make offline processing permanent” (no “edits” are shown in the media pool window). No icon on the takes on the 8 tracks. I deleted the backup files, restarted Cubase. The files were still there. Only files showing in the media pool are the active clips in the project.

I still have 6 GB of WAV files in the “Edits” folder. I’m pretty sure I can delete them. In fact, I just did, reopened the project, and it plays fine.

I think we might have a bug? I have a bunch of other projects that I’m inclined to start looking around in this “Edits” folder, to see just how much space it’s taking up.

Is anyone else seeing WAV files linger around in the Edits folder after applying offline audio processing? 6 GB isn’t anything to sneeze at (in my case), for NVMe storage.

One of my projects was showing 13Gb in the edits.
Like above I used the back up function which makes a new project folder.
It is now less than a gig. Just make sure you’re edits are done.
