No option to delete Media Encoder file

Hi,

I have a file that Media Encoder continues to process every time I open up ME.

I can delete the completed file above and the yet to be processed file below but the delete option is not available for this file.

How do I delete the file so ME can continue to process the files I want to have encoded?

    Click on the file name.

    Or lasso and hit delete.

    Have you clicked on the line "Final ... " just above the highlighted (currently selected) line?

    Hi Neil,

    Thanks for your response.

    I tried clicking anything but nothing would bring up an option to delete. At this point, ME must have restarted, it encoded the clip and I was able to delete it.

    Still curious as to why I didn't have a delete option even when paused. Can I not delete a file while it's being processed even when I've paused it?

    You click the bar above each clip, then you can use the minus-bar option up above to delete files in the queue.

    Puzzled me at first also.
