RECLAIM SPACE
The RECLAIM SPACE function frees up disk space by deleting “orphaned” audio files that are no longer
referenced by any RADAR project play list. There is also an additional option that allows the user to keep
or delete any audio files that are referenced in the current undo lists.
RADAR also has an AUTO RECLAIM feature. This feature differs from RECLAIM SPACE in that it only
frees up orphaned files in a particular project. In other words it will not delete any audio files that were
previously shared between projects. RECLAIM SPACE is a global function that will examine all projects
and delete any audio files that are no longer in use for any reason. AUTO RECLAIM is enabled by
default and works automatically in the background to ensure the most efficient use of disk space. It can
be disabled in the MAIN MENU / PREFERENCES MENU / AUTO RECLAIM dialogue.
To reclaim disk space:
Before reclaiming space ensure every project on the recording drive is backed up. RECLAIM
SPACE is a global disk function and may affect audio in projects other then the current project.
Use the , the and keys and the key to go to the MAIN MENU / DISK
MENU / RECLAIM SPACE dialogue and press the key.
