Deleting a Bin or Folder

Main Topics: Working with the Project Window
> Using the Bins Display > Deleting a Bin or Folder

Clips, subclips, and effects that are in a bin appear in the Trash after you delete the bin, and can be recovered if you remove the bin from the Trash. However, if you select a clip, subclip, or effect directly and press the Delete key, the item does not appear in the Trash and you cannot recover it.

To delete a bin or folder within a project:

If you have the Superbin enabled, see Deleting a Bin with the SuperBin Enabled.

Select the bin or the folder you want to delete in the Bins list.

Press the Delete key.

A Trash icon appears in the Bins list in the Project Window. It contains the deleted item. The deleted item is stored in the Trash until you empty it.

The Trash is not visible in the Project window until you select your first item to delete.
