Session Removal: In cases where a session contains only one layer, and that layer is linked to the removed media file, the entire session will be deleted as well. This automatic cleanup helps maintain the efficiency and clarity of your project workspace.
File Retention on Disk: Removing a media file from Igloo Core Engine does not delete the file from your computer's disk. This action only removes the file's reference from within the Igloo Core Engine environment. Your original media file remains intact and stored on your computer.
