What is the best way to delete files named "Auto-save copy of [project name]". Seem to accumulated quite a lot over time.
At the end of a project (I wish) I usually do a [save copy as] to get a clean project (from SSD to D Drive).

As long as you have a fully intact copy over on the D drive that contains the project file as well as all the associated files (recorded and imported audio, video, etc), you can just delete the one on the SSD drive. You don't need the auto-save files unless you plan to go back to a previous editing stage of the project. And be sure to back up the copy you have on D, just in case. Always have at least two copies of a project.

I have never enabled auto save ever. I feel more in control if I save as and increment a number every hour or so. Just my thoughts
