- Cleanup looks for audio files that were recorded by ardour for this
- session, but are no longer in use. "In use" means "present in any
- playlist in any snapshot of the session". If you have unused playlists
- (e.g. alternate takes) cleanup will volunteer to delete them for you.
- then it will search all snapshots (including the one you are working
- with), and move all unused captured audio files into the "dead_sounds"
- directory within the session. At this point, you could still potentially
- get material that was "cleaned up" back, though its quite tricky to do.

- It is advisable, even <emphasis>firmly recommended</emphasis> that after
- this cleanup step, you save the session, exit ardour and restart. This
- will enable you to confirm that the session still works as expected. If
- all goes well (and it should), you can then do the 2nd phase cleanup,
- which will remove the files from the <filename>dead_sounds</filename>
- directory (at which point, the material is not recoverable without
- backups on your part).

- Note that the presence of snapshots can cause user confusion, as in "why
- didn’t cleanup do anything?" The answer is frequently that there are
- all capture audio files are in use in this snapshot or in others.
