What is the difference between deleting from a bin versus the Media Tool?

• A. You can delete clips and media from a bin, but only media from the Media Tool
• B. Deleting from a bin removes nothing; You must use the Media Tool
• C. The Media Tool deletes both clips and media
• D. Deleting from a bin removes the bin, while the Media Tool deletes only media

Answer: (A)

Deleting from a bin means removing the clip’s entry from that bin—the bin no longer lists that clip. It does not touch the actual media files on disk. The media itself stays on storage (and may still be used elsewhere) because bins are simply references to media. The Media Tool, on the other hand, is the utility you use to purge the actual media files from storage. It operates independently of bins and can delete the underlying media data, even if a clip still exists in a bin elsewhere or references that media. So the distinction is: removing a clip from a bin affects only the bin’s listing; deleting the media itself requires the Media Tool. That’s why this option describes deleting both clips and media within a bin, with media deletions performed via the Media Tool.
