Exporting entire project with only needed audio files

While recording a project, i may record several takes, for example a guitar solo. looks like every take gets saved in the audio folder, however I delete the take from the project (in the take lane or track). this does not delete the audio file from the audio folder. Which is not really a problem, however, now I am sending stuff out to me mixed, I don't want to send out all of the unused adio files. And it is quite a task to figure out which are being used in the project and which aren't and manually delete them. Is there a way to export the Project and only the assiciated audio files the project actually uses easily? I know I can export everything out as audio, but I was really hoping to just send out a my project(or a version of it).  I found someone who mixes with sonar and wanted to give him a shot.

    Just save the project to a new folder location (and change the name if you want). This will save only the files that are actually used.

    Scott - great tip!

    Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

    The greatest solutions are the most simple. I guess I was stuck in this mindset that I would have to export etc. 

    Awesome!

    This is also a very good way to clean up your projects when they're finished.

    Just do a save as to a different folder like Scott said, then you can delete the original and move the copy back
