Hi Donald. Some of your posts suggest that you may be lacking some basic training in how to use a computer, but maybe you could clarify a few things:
1. When you say "desk top" do you mean your desktop computer or do you mean the desktop on your computer? If you're saving your video files to the desktop of your computer and they're cluttering it up, the simple solution is to create a folder on your hard drive called "Movies" and move all those files there, and even better would be to create subfolders within that "Movies" folder by project or date to help you keep those files organized. Once you move them, you'll have to relink them within Resolve.
2. When you say all those files are "clogging up" your desktop, do you mean they fill your desktop screen, or do you mean they are taking up too much hard drive space on your desktop computer? If it's the latter, what happened to the idea of storing all your video files on an external SSD? I saw that you bought one but were having trouble getting it to work; did you try reformatting it to NTFS format?
3. If you have a lot of files, Resolve's Media Management tool can help; see Chapter 37 in the Resolve 16 manual for details.
