Ok, that’s a start, and I can delete the files from the disk manually. (We’ve only about 250 GB for our files, and there will be a lot of small videos…) >> - broken records (leftovers of my submit experiments; record merge doesn’t >> work) > > Can you give a bit more details about what does not work and what you are > trying to achieve by merging broken records?
