Question

I deleted a folder in a project and it keeps recreating it

Hi everybody,

I deleted a folder in one of my projects, as it was not necessary anymore and was not containing anything useful, and when I open the project it keeps recreating it, and it tells me that I should delete it properly from the Project Manger.

I tried to do that, however there is no possibility to delete that folder from the Project Manger as the Delete option is not active as I make a right-click on it.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

    It may appear that there is nothing in the folder, but it sounds like there is. Perhaps there is a baggage file, image or some other file in it. If you look in the Project Manager you may find the offending file there. Delete that and you'll be able to delete the folder.

    Not that there is actually anything inside the folder, but RoboHelp BELIEVES there is. (or should be)

    The trick is to determine exactly what that is. And it may require some serious detective work to ferret it out. It could be an errant reference to an image, another topic, a baggage file, a CSS. Anything.

    Cheers... Rick

    I checked the folders and there is nothing that would be used in the project. Everywhere in the project there is no red squares indicating that the picture is missing. All the pictures that were in those two folders are right now in only one folder and I already did the reassignments of those pictures to this new folder everywhere in the project, so I do not see the reason it does not let me delete it and not to recreate it every time I am reopening the project.
