Clearing out the Render Library Safely?

Lee Moon

Likely a super easy question with a simple answer, but how do I quickly and safely delete all the images from the Render Library?

Mac user here and I have about 37 GB of renders stored there. That folder has been backed up to several external drives.  I stopped saving renders there a while back and would like to get rid of all those old renders.

I'm hoping there's a safe and quick way to do it.  Had thought about just grabbing all the files in the Render Library folder and deleting them, but thought the DAZ database would miss the images more than I would. :)

Thanks kindly for anyone's help with this!

The database doesn't mind, so if you like, you can just delete them.

Thank you, @nemesis10!

I'm deleting the files right now from my old iMac (that I'm getting ready to give away.)  Just in case there are unexpected consequences with DS (like alerts that the render library doesn't match the database, etc.)

If all works well, I'll do it on my new iMac.

Thank you so very much, nemesis10!!

Deleting the files from Render Library worked great, nemesis10.

As I suspected, I did have at least one image file tucked in the Render Library that gets loaded with some empty/starter scene presets that I use daily.  If I find any more of those random images, I can pull them off the external drive.

I really appreciate your help!  You gave me the confidence to do it.  I've been meaning to ask how best to get rid of those renders for quite a few weeks.

Now I've got a bit more free space on the drive!
