Can't delete a file from "Files and Folders"

[Nick Hunter]

I have an install project which builds OK but there is a file in the Application Folder which I want to remove. When I click on the Delete button or hit the Del key it disappears from the list but when I save and then reopen the project it is still there. It also remains in the built MSI file.

I guess it's a bug.

Hi Nick,

The folder that contains the file is synchronized? If this is the case then the file is re-added to the project on load or build. This is because the content of the synchronized folders is refreshed when build or project load.

Also you can specify filters for synchronized folders:

Thanks. You were right the folder was synchronized. When I took the synchronized option off it worked fine.

I had the same thing recently although the folder was not synchronised.

I had to set it up for sync, unset it, and then delete it.
