    Clips Status message: Shows Gigabytes of clips even after I've destroyed them.

    Any help on why the Clips status message at the bottom of the page doesn't update when I delete/destroy the clips in the clip list? I've looked in the folder where they are supposed to be saved, and there is nothing there. I've set the path in the [Clips and Archiving] tab to an empty drive...
