Folder won't delete

[Guest]

I've got several folders who are now empty that I want to delete...but RH refuses to allow it. there is NOTHING in them - I've checked in Windows Explorer...nothing there, but the X is greyed out and they will not go away.

Irritating. Is there a file I can edit somewhere and remove them from the project? THANKS!!!

Either there is a hidden file or there is a link to something in that file tricking RH into thinking there is something there.

Any broken links reported?

If not use a multi file find and replace tool to search your topics for the folder name.

Peter...didn't think about links to the folder - let me continue to look at this. No broken links but that doesn't mean that there might not be a reference. Let me look.

Take care!!!!

Hi Tei. To add to Peter's advice I've had instances where the rhbag.apj file still contains references to a file (in a folder) that has been deleted. Once I manually amended the file I was able to delete the folder.

Column - thank you! That's what I'm looking for...what can I edit to allow them to be deleted...or just remove them. Take care!

Hi Teri. I'm not clear if you need additional help. If you have redundant baggage files left in your project that you are sure you don't need, you can just delete them from the Baggage Files folder. If they still remain, and it can sometimes happen, just open the rhbag.apj file up in Notepad and remove the offending entry. All the usual provisos about backups apply of course.

Colum, that was THE KEY...thank you!
