Hi, I have a question about the storage of the data for Pix4d.  
At the moment I’m using an external hard disk but I was wondering, if I delete a project from pix4D the data are automatically deleted also on the storege or I have to find and delete them manually?  
Thanks  
Filippo

Hi,

if you delete a project in PIX4Dfields its also deleted from your storage folder. If you want to archive a project you should export it as project like this and zip it:
