What do you mean I'm out of hard drive space?

[johnneumann]

I've got a Kron running SE6, recently installed, up from my old SE4.

I've got a 56 minute project and all other project folders are empty. I've also emptied the "film" folder where rendered movies go to await being burned to DVD.

(I've also restarted several times to clear out any temporary settings.)

There is nothing on this drive except for this 56 minute project.

I don't remember the size of my drive, but I remember getting some six hours of stuff on there. 90 gigs ... something like that?

Regardless, upon trying to add more footage, I'm getting a message that my hard drive is almost full! Sure enough, it reads 80% full with only that one 56 minute project.

Where did all my hard drive space go? And more importantly, how do I get that meter to read about 15% ... where it should be with only an hour of footage on the drive?

Please tell me this is some correctable glitch and not an SE6 thing ... like, oh yeah, SE6 causes your drive to fill up four times faster with the same amount of footage or something.

Perform a full destructive install of the operating system when you're done with your current project.

That sounds like a glitch.

I have had a rare, occasional issue of bogus audio causing a false reading.

Use the Delete Project on all Projects that are supposed to be empty (even if they are empty do this) and then delete any audio that you do not need in the remaining projects and see if that helps.

If that doesn't help, I'd Clipboard all Scenes from your existing Project to one of the other Projects you just Deleted and then delete the original Project to see if that shakes the glitch.

Beyond that, I would try a non-destructive upgrade before using the cure of last resort of a full, destructive install.
