problems cleaning up in ardour

[greg emond]

i don't know if I should post this here or on the ardour site...but hell.

I just  love ardour,  but there is a problem...I'm kind of a sloppy musician, and I have to re-take a lot...which means that a lot of useless audio gets saved in the song files.   for instance, the last song I wrote has a whopping 8 gig .wav file!

there is a cleanup option in the session folder, but every time I try it, Ardour freezes on me, and I have to force quit.  there is a first message box that sais that unless I delete a specific region, there is nothing to delete, and if I agree, the thing crashes.

I use the basic ardour gtk that came with ubuntustudio 7.04  ...my cpu is a amd athlon dual core 2.4 ghz with a cheapo onboard  "realtek" sound card, and a delta44 as my main in/out audio.  

All I want is to reduce the files to a DVD friendly 4 gig...  can anyone help an enthusiast, but stomped composer with a very full hard drive?
