RH7 - getting snippet apj error message

[pjv]

I'm using RoboHelp 7 HTML with WebHelp Pro layout.  I had an existing snippet that I was linked not being used in any help topic so I deleted it. In addition, I moved snippets up and down in the Snippet pod so that they would appear in alphabetical order. I did save my snippets using Save All after I deleted and moved them around.

However, I noticed that the snippet that I thought had been deleted was still down at the bottom of the list in the Snippet pod. When I tried to delete it again, I got the following error message.

FYI - I restored my backup project and tried some of the same actions again. Moving snippets and then deleting the one that wasn't being used. Got the same error message.

How do I resolve this snippet problem in RH7?

Open the APJ file in Notepad and manually edit it so it matches the structure you have.

Thanks. I tried that and still got the same error message.  I even put the snippet names in alphabetical order via Notepad. However, when I re-opened RoboHelp 7 and the snippet pod, the names were still out of sequence. I would have thought the pod view would be updated to match the sequence in my apj file but that didn't happen.

When I resequenced (moving them up and/or down in the pod view) and saved, everything seemed okay.  But then I tried to delete one of the snippets that was not being used anywhere and got the same error message.

I'm hoping this is just a RoboHelp 7 issue and that things will be okay when I upgrade to version 8.

Here's whats in the rhsnippet.apj file:
