Deleting project as whole

Is there a way to delete a project AND all of its content (as in the audio and everything)?

    Go into Windows Explorer and just delete the whole folder. If you do not know where it is at. Run a search..........................JDW

    If you're not using Per-Project audio folders, do NOT delete the folder where your audio is stored if you have other projects you don't want to lose!

    Here's what worked for me when I migrated to Per-Project audio folders: First, I backed up the contents of my audio data folder to DVD-R just in case. Then I saved all of my projects I wanted to keep as bundle files. Then I enabled PPAF. Then opened each bundle and unpacked them into my new project folders (I was prompted for the path in which to unpack.) Then after I verified that everything was in order in each project, I went back and deleted the old audio folder containing the audio data.

    I'm sure there are other ways to do this - The Consolidate Project Audio command comes to mind, although I've never explored it. This was the safest way I found to do the PPAF migration and it worked without me losing anything.

    Per-Project audio folder is the only way to go. I wish CW would make this the default audio storage setting. With PPAF enabled, deleting/archiving old projects is a snap. I copy them to DVD-R first, then delete the folder containing the .cwp files and the audio folder.
