Hey. Thought I would ask this question here first... I did a Google search but what I found was inconclusive.
I record using Logic Express 8. I record the files on a separate FW drive. Anyway, to free up some space i decided to delete unused files in my projects.
Window>Audio Bin ---- then in Audio Bin I select Edit>Select Unused ---- then Audio Files>Delete Files.
I am given a message (warning): You can't undo this operation! Be aware that at least 40 projects also use these files.
When I start a new project I use a template that I have set up that has a good starting point for the tracks/channels I will need with track names (drum OVR, bass 1, GTR L, etc) already assigned. So when I try to delete these unused takes from a particular project, is Logic finding the same track names from other projects on the FW drive and attempting to delete those as well? Should i start naming tracks differently on each project to avoid this?
Thanks for any help.

You need to just manually delete any songs that you don't want anymore. If it's tracks that you're talking about, delete them with the song opened. I use Logic, and would never do a massive wipe out of stuff just in case, even though I back everything up to external drives.
these are my bands and my studio

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I just discovered what was happening. Apparently when I went to save a template for future recording projects, the save included some audio files in the audio bin for the template. Anyway, when I would start a new project and used the saved template, it would load those audio files into my audio bin of the new project, therefore causing the above mentioned problem.
Anyway, I created a new template and made sure no audio files were in the bin.
