Delete project using copy images

Question

Please assist to demount my confusion!

My projects are compiled and edited, always using copy images, screen clips etc so as to protect original files. I create a folder which also appears in Organiser.

Is it OK to delete this folder and from HD without it deleting any originals filed in Pictures and linked in Organiser. It seems that if an edited image (based on copy not original) is deleted then the primary link in Organiser to the original Pictures file image is also removed?

You can always make a backup of your original footage to another hard drive. Just in case your hard drive you are working with dies.

There is no reason to create duplicates (or keep duplicates) of any media you use in a Premiere Elements movie project. Premiere Elements is non-destructive. That means that your original files are not altered in any way, no matter what effects or editing your do to your movie.
