I'm leaning toward deleting them from the remote, too, although I'm a little nervous about doing so. Once I delete from the remote something is gone for good and I'm just not that knowledgeable about Dreamweaver to be so risky. That said, however, with help and guidance from this forum this past week I deleted half of the files on my remote server and in my local folders since the files and information were way outdated and not used on the website at all, anymore.
In that case, do not delete, but rename as I have suggested above.
Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
