Cubase says I'm missing files I don't really need

[AKR]

Ok, so I have emptied the trash in my pool, but now, when I load this project, it tells me a whole crap load of files are missing (I have saved this project in it's own folder). Well, a) why did it delete files it supposedly needs, and b) why is it telling me this when I'm really not missing anything in my project? Everything plays, and nothing is missing, but it shows about 40 or so audio files are missing, none of which I need.

I know if you just throw everything in one folder and empty trash or use "clean up," you're going to be in a world of hurt, but when I have one project in one folder, it shouldn't be taking out files it needs for that project, and it shouldn't tell me it's missing files that I don't really need.


Oh, BTW, I have a few hundred megabytes of unused audio that did NOT get deleted when I emptied the trash. I have no idea how to delete all of it safely except by manually listening to all of it, and I certainly don't want to do that. Cubase seems too retarded to do simple things like get rid of real, unused stuff, so I don't know what to do.
