Default Dumping old Cakewalk audio data

Hi,
Actually, it's a certain kind of file , IIRC (which I don't, which is
why I'm here asking )
that Cakewalk (old one from 2002) has taken up a lot of disc space
with . I was hoping someone here would remeber about this, as I just
set up my old computer again , but
it's clogged up with audio or files I don't want , but don't remember
how to get rid of .
I don't believe it's stratght audio data; I remember getting a tip
once about deleting a certain file type that (IIRC) is related to how
Cakewalk automatically saves project data .

Thanks,
Dar

You don't have to remember what the file is - you can just look. If you
know that it's a Cakewalk file that's taking up the space, surely you
can find it with a file search.

It could be a number of things - it could be WAV files from a project,
it could be archived BUN files, it could be the picture cache (WOV)
files.

YOU have to tell US in order to get a sensible answer. We're not mind
readers and we can't see your computer from here. We need specific file
names.

I can find wav files so no assistance is required there . I removed
as much audio from the projects as I could but there's still a huge
amount (for the old gray mare) of space being occupied
unnecessarily. I found a folder with zillions of small wav files but
a glance indicated it was only a small % of the space in question .

The bun files might be the ones I'm thinking of, as I just ran across
a blurb about them being tied to audio data
and other information. I think that's what I deleted years ago to
solve the problem. I didn't find a folder with those
recently , so let's work with that. Where might I find those?.
Cakewalk Home Studio 2002, if it matters.
I believe I started saving project work as wrk files instead of bun
files (or the other way around ?)to alleviate this situation after
the first round of overfill/deletion , but it got filled again. (It's
old, only a 40g drive. I fired it up again because it has all my old
settings and routing , soundcard, etc., and I am loathe to set up
another computer
now)

The wov does not sound familiar ; it's not what I deleted bunches of
years ago. Is that video data (from image -containing projects, which
I don't do) or just screenshot data from music project pages ?.

Let me know if I need to poke around to provide more info. I haven't
been working with CW for years ,
hence the ignorance .

Thanks,
D

OK. You may not want to get rid of those - they're complete projects
containing audio, MIDI, automation, and other data, all compressed in
Cakewalk's proprietary format.

Most Cakewalk users don't use the BUN format any more - it was fragile
and liable to become corrupt. People now usually use the "per project"
scheme where they save the whole project and it's associated data in
it's own folder. Then they backup that folder.
