# Selecting unused files

You may sometimes find that you have imported more clips that you needed in your project. Pitivi allows you to select files that are present in the media library but not in the timeline. There are various reasons to do this:

Improving performance when loading the project

Simplifying your editing workflow

Check which clips you may have forgot to use in your movie

Backup or share your project more easily

To identify which clips are not being used in your project, use Library Select Unused Media. Unused clips will then be selected in the media library. If you want to remove them from your project, use Library Remove from Project.

If there are no unused clips in your project, nothing will be selected in the media library.
