Remove Proxies From Project

Such an awesome addition! Thanks Adobe!

Is it possible not to fully delete the proxies, but to instead "hide the folder" in subfolders? I have been trying to find a way to use collect and relocate files via the project manager several times in a manner that doesn't bring over proxies (is this a bug?) and my project file always finds a way to reattach proxies through the  filenames found on my hard drive, even if the original subfolder structure has been purposely interrupted. I understand why it's done this way as it makes for easier media retrieval in most cases while editing, but I'm trying to compile my project for another editor in a way that preserves the proxies but also removes them for the initial edit hand off. I will try moving the subfolder off to a different drive and seeing what happens.

Was having the same issue... This is how I fixed it:

Delete Proxies->

(In Premiere) Select Footage ->

(press) Make offline ->

Save ->

Quit ->

Reopen ->

Re-link all your footage ->

Save

After you do this Premiere will stop asking to locate the proxies.

Basically, you have to unlink your footage and then re-link it.

I found that the keyword is to offline all -> Save -> QUIT and then reopen.  I was closing the project and re-opening and that wasn't doing the trick.  Thanks all.

I was having the exact same issue. "Offline All" did nothing. However, on a whim I tried manually clicking "Offline" for every proxy file listed (instead of just selecting "Offline All") and that seemed to do it. After I saved and restarted Premiere it no longer asked about the proxies. This sounds like a pain having to click all he files manually, but it literally took me less than a minute. This seems like a weird bug, but hopefully this works for others as well.

I deleted proxies just as suggested, saved, reopened etc.  But to no avail.  This worked for me:  Delete proxies in Finder.  open project. choose offline all media.  saved.  Then I had to delete media in the project and choose "keep media on the disk".  Saved it.  Quit.  Reopened.  Reconnected the media and it no longer looks for proxies.

Same issue here. It's not a real problem but it's annoying. Hope it will get fixed soon.

Just to add to this:

The issue is that when you attach proxies, there is no way to undo the attach and tell Premiere not to look for proxies. So if your proxies get deleted then Premiere will keep asking you to re-attach them every time you open the project.

This issue is compounded by a bug whereby even if you "Offline all" and save the project, Premiere will not remember that you clicked "Offline all" and will ask you to re-attach media again when you re-open the project.

My current workaround is to point the missing proxies request to the original rushes. That way Premiere thinks that proxies are attached and the missing media warning goes away.

I see the need for two functions related to cleanup besides just the export project functionality.

- Remove all Proxies with Option to delete File on Disk (with selection\check boxes for files to remove like attaching)

- Remove all Files not in use and option to delete from Disk or Not (with selection\check boxes for files to remove like attaching)

I've been working on one particularly project for months and there is a lot of files no longer in use or proxies that I have recreated with different ingest settings. But there are 100s of clips in the project. So it would be great to be able to clean-it up before saving and archiving as well as free up disk space.

(am filling out a Feature Request Form. I am sure Adobe has this already but,,, Can't hurt).
