I made sure everyone was off or shut down but what about deleting the .log file. I know I've done it before with no ill effect but today the bin went bye bye at the same time. I'm pretty tired so I don't rule out cockpit error on highlighting but the AE said sometimes deleting the .log deletes the bin as well. I don't understand, "sometimes" it either can be done or can't. Now I'm too gun shy to experiment. Something about making delivery tomorrow. Man I miss the days of a chief engineer etc.... What hat am I wearing now? Besides the dunce cap of course. ;-)

After quitting both avids and restarting mine the bin was still locked. I deleted the .lck and .log file like I have in the past. Low and behold the sequence bin was gone. The attic was my friend. The AE just told me that I should not delete the .log file because sometimes it deletes the bin. I figured I had just accidently deleted the bin file by mis clicking but from what the AE said he's lost bins when he's deleted the .log file. What is the truth about the .log file deletion and the bin deleting with it even if it's not highlighted? I was under the impression the .lck and .log file can be deleted with no effect to the bin. Am I wrong here?
