What is your intention here? The Folders listed here cannot be deleted, as they just show the folders in which source or target files from the project are located. So when you delete the corresponding files from the project, the folder will not be displayed anymore. 

Yes, that's exactly what I did. It just takes a long time if you have to delete each file individually. You can't even select which files you want to delete, You really have to delete each one individually. That's why I asked if there was an easier method, for example deleting the folder directly.

I have another question: the reason why I have to delete entire lists is because we have reached a limit, as soon as we want to add additional lists there is an error and Passolo cannot be started.

Why are you deleting the files individually? When you select the folder in the tree view on the left side, then it will filter the containing files on the right side in the list. Select the (blue) source files in the list and delete them in one go.

Which limit have you reached? How many source files and how many target languages do you have in the project?

no, in my Passolo 2017 you cannot delete there, you can only select in this folder. You can only delete if you right-click on this folder (image) and then select ‘project settings...’. You can delete there, but only individually, you cannot select several.

Source Files (1275)

Target Languages (24)

30,600 translation lists is not a small project, and processing times to update the whole project or to generate all target files will be quite significant. Nevertheless, there is no limit regarding the number of files and target languages. Just processing times will be longer.

It would be better to show the process in the real project.

• Selecting a node in the tree view on the left side will just show the containing files in the list on the right side.
• It is possible to select multiple files like with any other Windows based list view.
• To delete several source files, just select the blue entries.
• Then go to the project ribbon (see above) and click on the down arrow beside Add Source and select Delete Source. This allows you to delete multiple sources and its corresponding translation lists.

Nobody said it was a small project ;).

I just want to know why I have a problem when I add new source lists to the passolo project?

The process that leads to the problem:
1. open project
2. add new source lists => with "Add Source"
3. upload project => with "Creat/Update String List"
4. close the project
5. Now I can no longer open the project  => error message from passolo ( see screenshot )

what I have already tried:
I deleted another source list from the project and then added the new list with "Add Source", then update String List with "Creat/Update String List and close the project => that runs error-free when i open the project again.

So the problem is not in the source list, but I assume that there is a limit to the number of source list, is my opinion.
