Hi Guys,
Just completed a lot of work in iMovies for a relative,
Deleted all the movies after I had put them on DVDs for them

Just had a look at iMovie and it appears I still have data there but I cannot fathom how to delete it?

This is what I see when I open iMovie when I click on "events"-
42 video clips,
5.3h total duration,
0 photos,
0 music files,
0 projects, and
91.21GB

I just can see a way to delete it?
Regards,
Gary

If it is the most current version of iMovie, you will find the files here.

Open Finder>Movies>iMovie Library.imovielibrary

Right click on that file and choose Show Package Contents

You will find the files that are still showing in there. Be careful not to delete every file in there. Keep the ones I have shown below. iMovie has to have at least 1 event even if it is just an empty one.

Thank you,

Much appreciated, your method located the files and I have deleted them
I have another 8 tapes to do, I guess I'll soon find out how I went
Edit:Just checked, just got nearly 100GB back!
I only have a 768GB SSD so got to watch my space

Regards,
Gary
