Removing Selected Assets
If you no longer need assets in a project, you can remove them from the Assets tab.
Important:
The Assets tab only contains links to the actual asset files. Removing an asset
from the Assets tab does not actually delete the asset’s file from your hard disk.
To remove assets from the Assets tab

Do one of the following:
• Choose Edit > Remove Asset (or press Delete).

You cannot remove assets that are currently in use by the project. If you try to do so, an
error message appears listing the selected assets that are in use and which project element
is using them.
