Delete - audio previews, auto-save, captured audio, captured video

Hello! 

 

I finished a project and the below file folders have automatically saved on my computer. Can I delete them without affecting the final product? Would they be needed for future work if I ever need to edit the project?

The "Captured Audio" might house the audio files if you did a voice-over audio capture in Premiere. If you didn't do any voice-over type work in Premiere, there's nothing there of use. It's not likely you "captured video" either from Premiere.

 

Other than that, the audio previews can be recreated on re-launching the project at a later date. Auto-saves are of no interest if you have saved and backed up working copies of the project file itself.

 

So yes ... those folders are normally routinely cleaned out.
