I was moving some custom project folders around in the
Project Manager. Most of my folders moved just fine but for some
reason I have a couple of folders (a folder and subfolder) would
not move so I had to create a new folder in the correct destination
and move the topics individually. That worked fine but now that
subfolder (where the topics were moved from) along with the folder
it is contained in does not have a delete option. However, other
folders and topics do. Why can I not delete this folder and
subfolder and is there a way that I delete it out of my Project
Manager. They are empty (when checking Windows Explorer) except for
the (foldername).fpj file in each. NOTE: I am not using version
control. This project in on my local computer.
Problems of this kind normally mean there is a "hidden" file
somewhere. If you run the Topic Properties report you should see
anything that has been left behind. The other alternative is to
check the folder structure in the RH Explorer (e.g. images, baggage
files, etc.).
Okay. As far as your first suggestion of running a Topic
Properties report ... what would I run this report on when there
aren't any topics in the folders I want removed? I went to your
second suggestion of checking in the RH explorer and did find an
image file in the folder I want removed but I can't do anything
with it. There is no delete option when selecting the image. There
is no way to drag it out of the folder and place it somewhere else.
What do I do with this?
I guess there are some left-overs on your disk. RH only shows
files it 'knows' about, and let's delete you folders only if they
are empty. So any file residing in a folder which is not managed by
RH prevents you from deleting the folder.
So check your folder with Windows Explorer, delete any files
visible there, and try deleting the folder from within RH again.
