Temp file from DCP eating up HD space

Post by Terraform »

Hey,
So I neglected to set the proper output source for my test DCP and it wrote it to my documents folder on my startup drive (Mac OS 10.12.6)
after trashing the completed DCP and restarting the computer several times the 134GB of space has not returned to my Startup drive.

I am assuming that there is some temp file that may be invisible somewhere.

Any thoughts?

DCP-o-matic should only write files to the project folder that you specify on File -> New. Have you deleted that whole folder (including the video folder, pcm_* files, metadata.xml and so on)?
