Safely delete Final Cut Pro render files
That project wrapped months ago — so why is it still eating your disk? Render files are the invisible cost of every timeline you've ever edited. FCP Cleaner finds them, shows you exactly what they are, and lets you delete them with real confidence: Final Cut Pro can simply rebuild them if you ever need to.
Why render files quietly become huge
Every timeline, every effect, every color correction can leave a render file behind. One project rarely notices. A year of projects can add up to a Mac that's mysteriously, frustratingly full.
Generated, not original
Render files aren't your camera footage — they're playback helpers Final Cut Pro can regenerate the moment it needs them again.
Hidden inside every library
FCP Cleaner scans Final Cut Pro libraries with the
.fcpbundle extension and surfaces what's really inside.
Your footage stays untouched
FCP Cleaner is built to focus only on generated files like Render Files, Proxy Media, High Quality Media and Analysis Files.
Clean render files without ever guessing
Instead of manually digging through Final Cut Pro library packages, hoping you don't click the wrong thing, FCP Cleaner gives you a clear, honest overview of what can safely go.
Scan a selected folder in Standard Scan mode. With an active license, Expert Mode can scan entire drives recursively — for when one library is never the only one.
How Standard Scan worksGranular selection
Choose exactly which generated categories get removed.
Library detection
Find every Final Cut Pro library and its generated media in one pass.
Final Cut check
Cleanup is blocked automatically while Final Cut Pro is still open.
Full transparency
Nothing is deleted until you've seen exactly what was found.
How FCP Cleaner handles render file cleanup
Simple, transparent, and focused only on the generated Final Cut Pro data that's safe to touch.
Select a folder
Choose the folder that contains your Final Cut Pro libraries.
Scan generated files
FCP Cleaner detects Render Files and every other generated media category.
Free up space
Select what to remove and clean up once Final Cut Pro is closed.
Designed for safe cleanup decisions
FCP Cleaner never targets your Original Media, projects, events or library databases. It stays focused on generated files Final Cut Pro can recreate whenever it needs to.
Before deleting anything, the app checks whether Final Cut Pro is currently running. If it's open, cleanup is blocked — so there's never a conflict with an active library.
