Cleaning the media file system
This procedure allows you to keep the media database and the media files in sync. The
Storage Utility checks the movies (clips) in the media database for the references to
media files that should be currently stored on the media disks. If the Storage Utility
finds any movies that refer to non-existent media files it deletes those movies from
the media database. Likewise, the Storage utility checks for media files that are not
referenced by a movie in the media database and deletes the unreferenced files as
well.
1. Open the Storage Utility as explained in “Opening and closing the Storage Utility”
on page 58 .
2. Backup the media file system as explained in “Backing up the media file system”
on page 63 . This is a precaution. When the cleaning operation is successful the
backup file will not be needed.
3. Open the Storage Utility context menu and select Clean Media File System . A
dialog opens to confirm that you do not need to backup your media file system.
4. Select No to skip the backup and continue. A progress indicator appears as the
Media File System is cleaned.
5. Respond to messages as follows:
a. If unreferenced movies are found a message is displayed. Select Yes to delete
unreferenced movies.
b. If unreferenced media files are found a message is displayed. Select Yes to
delete unreferenced media files.
When the Clean Media File System process is complete a message appears to
confirm success.
6. Select OK . Your Media File System has been checked and cleaned.

on page 58 .
2. Backup the media file system as explained in “Backing up the media file system”

not be needed.
