Default Orphaned files still shown though deleted - 09-12-2005 , 09:28 AM






I've run a Check Links Sitewide to find all my orphaned files, then gone
through and deleted most of them using Dreamweaver (ie NOT using Windows
explorer)

However, even after rebooting, the files are still there when I run the Check
Links again.

(I've also removed them from the remote site, if that makes any difference)

How do I get an accurate picture of which files actually ARE orphaned now?

Thanks in advance

Laura

In case you didn't know the Orphaned files may include files linked via
javascript so be careful when deleting "Oprhaned Files".

I don't know if this has been changed in DW 8 perhaps a beta tester here
could let us know?
