To rename a bin:

1. Select the bin in either the tree or contents pane.

2. Choose

Rename

on the

File

menu or from the shortcut menu with a right-

click. You can also select the bin a second time.

3. The name of the bin is highlighted. Type a new name for the bin and press

Enter.

NOTE: Renaming a bin involves modifying the path of every clip or
master in the bin, to reflect the new name. If a clip or master cannot
be renamed because it is locked or in use, you end up with two bins:
one with the old name and one with the new one. The clip that could
not be modified will still be in the bin with the old name.

To delete a bin:

1. Select the bin or bins in either the tree or contents pane.

2. Press

Delete

,

Backspace

, choose

Edit | Delete

or with a right-click, choose

Delete

from the shortcut menu.

3. The bin icon disappears from the tree and the contents of the bin are moved

to the

Recycle

bin.

NOTE: Deleting a bin involves deleting every clip or master currently
in the bin. If a clip or master cannot be deleted because it is locked or
in use, the bin will not be deleted either—it will only contain those
clips or masters that could not be deleted. The rest go to the

Recycle

bin.

the item a second time.
