As title states looking to auto delete RAW files after Remote/Viewer has composited pixel shifted RAWs to single composite image/data file.

Thanks

I don't know how to automatically delete them, but it's easy to filter the view to ARW only and then delete them all.

@natsutoshi , Yes this was my plan B however still leaves me dry. Shooting ultra macro with a stack and stitch rig sometimes requires shooting over my 1TB drive capacity so was hoping i did not need to upgrade that XD I am often around to delete the RAW before the drive fills completely, thank you Natsutoshi for going over this with me.

I don't think there's an option for that, but I contacted the Sony support reps and provided your suggestion as feedback for the app, so maybe we'll get the option implemented in the future ^^

It may be possible to achieve this in another way.
A program that monitors a folder and deletes ARW files with the same name and numbers up to +3 when an ARQ file is created would probably be easy to do in C# or VB.
Even if you have no experience in programming, you can probably do it, so why not give it a try?

Thank you Joe_Dohn and Natsutoshi, I am trouble shooting a workflow with some new kit, will pass onto support reps if i have anything to highlight. Natsutoshi, thank you for your comment as it has nudged me to do what i have put off until now. Taking such a route looks promising in the possibilities it opens
