Hello David Wright ,

The easiest way to do this, is to select your client folder (in this case Melia) then right click the file and delete-

You will then receive a warning that by continuing the action, the files will be permanently deleted from the disk-

However, this only removes the files from Studio and will not delete them from your 'project folder'.

Hi Steven,

I tested one solution that works fine for me. Here goes the step by step explanation:

1) In Studio, go to your existing project, right click on one of the files and open "containing folder" (or if you know exactly where it's stored on your local machine or file server, head directly to the explorer location.

2) Close Studio

3) open the respective project file (I guess in your example: HHLTest.sdlproj) with an xml editor (ideally one, where you can see the XML tree view, I use XML notepad 2007 -> it's free of charge and you can download it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7973)

4) Once opened, navigate in the tree view to the second last entry -> "tasks" and click on the + sign.

Now you can see all the tasks performed in that specific project and you'll be able to delete them one by one:

They are in chronological order, so you may want to keep the ones at the bottom of the list in case there are any pending tasks.

4) Once you cleaned up that list, close and save the file and then reopen Studio. The tasks list will be clean again.

NB: Before you start, you may want to do a copy of your sdlproj file in case anything goes wrong. This way you can always go back to the initial situation. Make sure that at the end of the process and before opening Studio, the name of the modified sdlproj file matches the original name (in your case HHLTest.sdlproj).

Hope that helps.

cheers

Steve
