cleaning up a recovered project?

[Tech_Writer_KC]

RH7, .chm help.

Our help projects at some point were lost/corrupted/whatever, and a tech writer prior to me recovered them by reverse engineering the chm files. My understanding is that this results in a lot of extraneous files and folders, as well as folder structures, within the projects that aren't needed (or necessarily right, given the nature of extracting a project out of a finished chm file).

I would like to clean these up. Are there any guidelines anywhere regarding what file types are safe to expunge, or what the most convenient method is? I'm half-way tempted to start a new project for each existing project and simply import the .htm files and .css file from old to new...

You could just use the Unused Files report from the Tools menu. I've always found what is there to be deletable.

Reverse engineering should not produce anything unwanted. Before you delete anything, create a backup first.
