I am new to Robohelp and I think I just made a big error. I
changed the location of the output everytime I generated an updated
project, so I wound up with many duplicated files. I decided to
consolidate and remove alot of those files. Now when I open up the
project, there are many files missing..... How can I clean up my
system and fix my projects....will I need to locate and import all
of those files? They are all so scattered....
All you needed to do was just delete the old outputs. What I
am not clear on is what you did with the source files. Did you in
fact touch those? If not, all you need to do is create a fresh
output and trash the old ones.
If "source" and "output" are not clear to you, post back.

Thank you for responding. I believe I toyed with the source
files. I also imported many different images and files into 5-6
various folders. When I tried to consolidate them, the path is
different now then what Robohelp shows. What do I do since I played
with the source folders.... thank you again for your help!
In an ideal world, you'd have a backup copy of the source
files prior to consolidating them. Then you could move or rename
the files and folders as needed from within RH. I suspect the
problem occured because you may have renamed and moved things
manually outside of RH.
Unfortunately it sounds to me like you're in a start over
type of situation. There are some project files that could be
edited outside of RH using notepad, but that can be dangerous.
You'd definately want RH closed if you attempt to edit those files
(and make a backup copy first). For example the file root.fpj
contains the names and paths to each file in the RH project. Also,
if you are working with baggage files the file rhbag.apj controls
those. So you might be able to rename things in those two files to
match your current site structure. I'd say proceed with caution,
but I guess it can't really get any worse.
