Move rejected clips to Pending deletion
This method only cleans up the library. It doesn’t change disk space.
- Open the Rejected group from the counts below the barcode.
- Press Move to Pending deletion… in the divider above the clips. The button appears only if there are rejected clips.
- The Move rejected clips to Pending deletion window opens. Explanation: “Rejected clips are removed from the list; videos stay in their place on disk. If you change your mind, you can restore them from Pending deletion.”
- Check the counts: the number of Rejected clips and the size Leaving the list. Below them it says “Videos stay on disk; this step doesn’t change disk space.”
- Read the notes:
- “{n} clips have never been exported. You can export them first.”
- Press Move to Pending deletion. Choose Cancel to change your mind.
