Deleting Files from Your Project When Using Perforce

When you no longer require certain files in your project, you can delete them. When you delete a file in Perforce, you must first open it for deletion and then submit the changelist to the depot. You should always save your project before deleting files to prevent losing the changes you made since the last save.

[Caution] Caution

Do not delete the Default Work Units as they are critical to the project.

To delete a file from your project:

  1. From the menu bar, click Project > File Manager....

    The File Manager opens.

  2. Select the file(s) that you want to delete.

  3. Right-click one of the selected project files, and select Mark for Delete from the menu.

    A message is displayed prompting you to confirm the file deletion.

  4. Click Yes.

    The Process Log dialog box opens showing that the file(s) has been opened for delete.

  5. Click OK to close the Process Log.

    The status of the file is set to “delete.”

  6. Click Close to close the File Manager.

    The Project dialog box opens prompting you to reload the latest version of the project since changes have been made externally to the project.

  7. Click Yes.

    The latest version of the project is loaded, and the file has been deleted.

    At this point, the file has only been added to the changelist and is marked for delete. You need to submit the changelist to delete the file in the depot.
