Folders in an HTML X5 project

[Guest]

I'm trying to create some order to the 700 topics by creating folders under HTML Files and moving topics out of the top level folder and into the lower ones (for example Sample_Code). Well, I decided to rename a folder (right-click rename), but RH created an (empty) folder with the new name. It appears as a subfolder of the Top Level Folder in the drop-down list but it is empty. The problem is, I can't find this new folder anywhere (even as a subfolder of anything in the Project view). I have "lost" it and wonder how I can find it so I can move topics into it and delete the old name (I cannot rename the old folder because RH says I already have one with that name.

In fact, I don't see any way to delete a folder from the project view. Any ideas?

Hi yenelli

You might look at the View menu and see if "Empty Folders" is enabled. But I'm guessing you will find it is.

Odds are you have the project on a network location. Creating a folder and immediately losing it as you have reported is a classic red flag for us here to suggest your project is on a network. Assuming that's the case, you should strongly consider moving the project to your local C drive before worse things happen.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick!
I found a companion folder in the Style Sheet folder, and tried to delete...that gave an error message that pointed me to the View | Empty Folder setting...enabling that solved my problem!

I'm not using a network drive--RoboSource yes, network drive, no.
