Mix cannot be modified ("is_referenced")

You receive the is_referenced error message when trying to delete or modify a folder or mix component.

The is_referenced error message pops up mostly if you want to delete or modify a mix component that is referenced by another mix component or when you are trying to modify a running service (or a mix containing a running service).

Deleting a folder

The folder you are trying to delete likely contains a mix involved in an ongoing transaction or a service that is running.
