Hi! I'm getting this message "Could not find the linked file. Choose Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged." and I don't know how to get rid of it. It happens each time I open certain documents and I see no SELECT UNLINKED FILES option in Illustrator so as to select them and delete. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanx in advance!

It should give you the name of the missing file in this message.

Hi Ton! Yes, but what I want is to know how to select those unlinked files once the document is opened. I think there should be an option to select them and delete if wanted as if I could see the image remarked with the X as it's not loaded I could select it and delete as in my case I don't have those images in my system, so I want to select them from the document and delete all them, then save again the file. Is it any way to do it? Best regards, Yuri
