TICKET ARCHIVE -> Imovie trash error
kmcdanie - Mar 24, 2006 - 10:06 am
I have a swival Imac running osx and imovie 4.0.1. I have 634 mb in my imovie trash. When I attempt to delete the trash I get a error. This error does not tell me anything other than there is an error. I have reinstalled I movie to see if that would help and it did not. Has anyone had this problem?

Hi and welcome to macosx.com
(1) do you have the project the trashed files are related to from your Users/username/Movies ? If, yes pout the project back, and try to empty the trash
(2) how much free space have you still on your machine ?
Well, the iMovie trashcan does not work like your system trash can. You cannot "open" it and retrieve clips from it.
In short, If you are worried about losing data; NEVER delete an unused clip, ALWAYS put a copy in the time line from the shelf. NEVER empty iMovie's trash until the project is complete and to tape and/or DVD.
