Hello All,

Sorry - newbee question. How do I delete unwanted projects in Webdev12. I have created quite a few projects to test various functionality of Webdev12 now when I try to delete them I get a message 'Cannot delete (Projectname): Access is denied, Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently being used".

Is there anything else I need to do to delete the unwanted projects ??

Thanks & best regards
Ewart

Hello,

U cannot delete the projects because they are referenced by Ur Web Server.

U have 2 choices to delete them by :
- stopping the Web Server before deleting the project folder.
- Remove the project from the control of Ur Web Server

Ex : if Ur Web Server is IIS, go to the control panel, administrative tools, open the IIS administration application and remove all the projects U want to delete there or just stop the IIS Service without removing the projects.

Then, U can delete physically the projects folder on the hard drive.

Hello Serge,

Thanks a lot. I am an AS/400 man & this is all new to me hence such basic questions (it looks basic now since I've got some clue !!).

Thanks again
