Red Alert appeared: Maximum number of files. Delete some ... what & where?

Moving along very nicely, when the system started to bog down, then crashed twice, and finally, I just now received a Red Button Alert, telling me that Audition had reached the maximum number of files, and I need to delete some.  It is not saving my edits now. 

I have my main multi-track session files on a removable 2TB, pretty well organized in folders with all their referenced files enclosed.  All files are in the same folders with their sesx file.  I  then exported to WAV, and have been working through those files pretty successfully for a week now.  But obviously, the back-up and demands on the application have created this impasse.

I am delving into the User Guide, but can anybody send me in the right direction?

I have my files backing up to a removable 2TB drive, which currently has 94 GB free.  I have set a secondary back-up on Creative Cloud, and 12.63 GB in my Audition folder inside my system folder. of files in the Audition folder on my internal Hard Drive.

Maybe useful -- to me the stuff of nightmares -- screenshots from my Audition Preferences backup locations,  along with the Info on my main (UFI) hard drive, and the removable (UF-006) 2 TB drive.   

I just need to know what I can SAFELY delete to get back to work.   

Thanks for any help.

Correct answer SteveG_AudioMasters_

Have you tried decreasing the number of backups it makes - yours is set to 1 minute, but the default is 3 - and increasing the number of backup files that can be created? You can increase that number to 10,000...

Also your auto-save value is rather low - the default for that is 10 minutes.

Assuming that you are saving work anyway, these backups are only precautions - there's no need to go overboard about them!

No, i have not messed with those settings, but will. I’m petrified about

losing files. If I knew that my current Wave files and the original .sesx

files with all recorded clips in folders are sufficient, I’d be thrilled to

dump all that superfluous material. Many gb are being used up if you can

see the illustrations I added.

Thanks Steve.
