[Ardour-Users] Cleaning up unused regions

That may be a bug...

A region is nothing more than a "viewport" of the wav file (either partial
or entire file).  You should be able to
chop/copy/split/paste/chew/kick/light-on-fire/undo regions until chickens
rip your lips off and never ever ever ever have it change the underlying wav
file.

I agree with the other Brett that the only way to minimize the wav file
space is to bounce the areas you want to keep so they become their own wav
files, delete the original region,  and then do the cleanup unused sources.
