Clean Audio Folder fixed - FINALLY!!!

This had me laughing out loud!
 
After what must be a decade the Clean Audio Folder tool has finally been brought in line with reality.
 
https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.11.html
 
It comes from an era when hard drives were small and you were rich to have more than one in your desktop tower. Network drives were for corporations and there was no recycling bin.
 
Up until recently, this tool would search through every one of those, even the recycling bin.
 
Most of us have long gotten used to the save-with-audio-clips workaround.
 
It's really cool that even long ignored obscure issues such as this one are being addressed now.

    Except for me.
    Could you please elaborate on this?

    1. Create a new directory for your project. So say your project is named "MyProject", create a new directory on the same level called "MyProject1".
     
    2. Click File / Save As
    and navigate to the new directory.
     
    3. Click the "Copy all audio with project" checkbox
     
    4. Save. Your new directory now only contains the audio your project really uses.
     
    You now may either delete the old directory and rename the new one back to the old one (close Sonar first) or just continue with the new one and keep the old one as a backup.

    I don't. I figure, none of my drives are more than 35% full, why not live it up?
