Rick and Peter,

Thank you -- you are amazingly helpful. In these times where applications are more robust (and complicated) than ever and yet have no user manual, it's great to have your expertise. (Adobe should send you part of their profit-sharing every year.) Plus, your postings make me smile. : )

Just a couple more questions:

1. Am I correct in saying that there are actually three ways to back up a RoboHelp project:

a. zip the project folder
- OR -

b. Copy the project folder and then paste it in a different drive
- OR -

c. Drag the project folder to another drive

?

2. Peter, if I run Willam's script to delete unused images, will I have a choice of which files to delete, or does the script delete all unused image files? (By the way, Willam's snippet is actually 42.)

Thank you!

Happy to hear we make smiles. (And we aren't even dentists!)

I'll tackle the first one. Yes, you are correct on the backup mechanisms. And if you think about it, there are even more ways.

Instead of copying to another drive, you could copy to the cloud. Or to a different folder on the same drive.

... although Rick does have a T shirt "I'm not a doctor but I'll look anyway".

I would just add that whilst there are multiple methods and it's a long time since, I have seen people have issues with copying or dragging across a network and something get messed up on the way. Hence another reason I recommend zipping.

Provided it is not shown in Project Manager, just delete it via Windows.

You can get a list of all images not used via the Unused Files report.

If the file is in use and shown in Project Manager, double click it and you can see which files use it. Remove the reference to the image in those files and then follow the previous steps.

Peter, I have the same problem. I have HTML 2015

I ran the report and have 6 unused image files.

test 1: remove all list under section in project manager, re input file. Unused files still on C:

test 2. remove all images from c: re-input section. unused files are not in project manager, but still reside on C; drive input folder.

I'm cleaning up my project and really need to know how to remove these.

I have opened.fpj in word pad, do I delete all topic reference or all folder reference and re-input to clear unused image files?

If not where would I find these unused images to delete?

The report tells you where the files are located. Open File Explorer in Windows and delete them using that.
