Removing deleted files from a Windows Briefcase


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I like to use the Windows Briefcase to keep my traveling files up to date.

 

The problem is that I absentmindedly added files to a briefcase from a

CD-ROM, edited these files, and removed the CD (not that it could write to

the CD anyways). I think I deleted the CD-ROM files from the breifcase

after realizing my mistake (I'll have to verify this).

 

Now everytime I go to up date the files, I get a message about the 2 CD-ROM

files not being accessible.

 

Is there any way I can delete the references to the CD-ROM files? I was

looking for some sort of INI file or some other system file that would list

all of the files with there sync copy paths that I could edit to eliminate

the references to these CD-ROM files. I didn't find any such files. Is

there anything I can do about this?

 

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

 

Conan Kelly

Hello Conan,

Can you restore the deleted files from the recycle bin?

It may be necessary to Orphan them before deletion (Briefcase menu > Split

from original).

HTH,

ern.
