RH does not mark files for deletion. Do you mean it is marked
with a red X? That indicates that as far as RH is concerned, the
file has been deleted. That means the database has lost track of it
and that ties in with your attempt to open it.
Try importing the file back in and the red X should
disappear.
Are you deleting unwanted files in Windows Explorer? They
must be deleted via Project Manager.
