Purge unused files

As in any collection of files, after a while one ends up with a certain amount of files outdated or no longer in use, and wishes to tidy up.

This is facilitated by the Purge file resources from the Trees menu:

This command is available to you from within a View, so you will need to first create one - see here for details on how to do so.

Example

This example shows how to remove the unused volcanic_delay.gif image file.

Clicking on the Purge file resources command makes a dialog to pop up prompting you to select the file to delete:

The Ctrl + Click method (hold the control key down as you click on an item) allows you to select multiple elements to suppress in one go.

Clicking on the Delete selected button marks the file for deletion:

The filename has turned green (meaning that the requested modification, in this case the deletion, has not yet been saved) and is preceded with a red coss sign, indicating the nature of the change.

Very important: The file will be actually removed from the File resources tree only after you have published your View.

As a consequence, the only way to cancel a deletion command is to delete the View from which it was invoked.

Note: removing all files from a directory will make this directory disappear from the File resources tree. Remember that a directory needs to contain at least one file to exist.
