Question about Deleting a track.
I've noticed that if I delete a track it does not delete the track from my audio folder. Is there away to make it delete the track from the audio folder?

What would happen if you deleted a track, then realized it was done in error, and you tried ctrl+Z (undo?)

I realize that you could make a mistake. But I would at least like to have the option to reclaim disk space. rafone

What? is this 2004? disk space? what is that? Sorry couldn't help it..
But seriously, Unless your using a 128 GB SSD for your Sonar audio why worry about it..
What I do is back everything up to a 2 TB drive and if my Sonar data drive which is a 240 GB SSD starts to look like it's getting full I move a few finished album project folders to a third back up drive and delete them from my "working" drive... I always have 3 copies of everything on hand. elsewhere.
I never delete originals of anything. But I keep my working drive clean so it's fast.

When you exit the project, the file is deleted -- but only if that file was recorded/created in the same session you have deleted it.
The rationale for keeping it until the end of the session is to let you undo. Going beyond the session that created the file, there is another rationale: you might have made a copy (or copies) of the project since you first created it, and if Sonar deletes the file on behalf of one copy of the project, that would ruin other copies. There is no decent way for Sonar to track the usage of recorded files, but there is the cwaf tool for scanning through all your projects and all your audio files to find files that can be deleted (orphans).

As alluded to by martins guit above - if you do a "Save As" to a new folder, making sure you've got "Copy audio with project" checked, you can safely delete the old folder in it's entirety.

This is news to me. Does it work that way also in older versions? I've always been convinced that the wav gets deleted only, if you undo it right after recording, and that you can't undo anything after you've saved.
