SUMMARY
This article describes how to properly delete a Web project created with
Visual InterDev. The process requires deleting project files both on the
Web server and on the development workstation or server. Also, this article
will show how to recover a Web project that has been accidentally deleted
on the Web server.
MORE INFORMATION
There are several methods to delete a Web application created with Visual
InterDev. This article will focus on only one of these methods.
Click Yes. Another dialog box will appear:
Again, click Yes. The project files and the virtual directory on the Web server will be deleted. However, the workspace will still exist on the development workstation or server. To remove the workspace on the development workstation or server, close Visual InterDev if it is opened. This ensures that there is no sharing violation with the workspace directory. Then, go into Windows Explorer. Locate the workspace directory. By default, the workspace directory is C:\Project Files\DevStudio\MyProjects\workspacename. And, delete the workspace directory. NOTE: It is not recommended to use Windows Explorer to delete the Web application on the Web server. By default, the location where the Web application resides is C:\InetPub\wwwroot\projectname. This can cause possible errors with the FrontPage Server Extension configuration files and with the Internet Information Server metabase. If a Web project is accidentally deleted on the Web server through methods other than using Visual InterDev, there are several ways to recover the Web project. The initial method relies on restoring from the most recent Web server backup available. NOTE: Another method through Visual InterDev works only if none of the project files on the development workstation or server were released (that is, right-clicking the project file and Release Working Copy; or from the Project menu, select Web Project, Release Working Copy) and all of the project files where retrieved from the Web server (that is, right-clicking the project file and Get Working Copy; or from the Project menu, select Web Project, Get Working Copy). Once a project file is released, it does not exist on the development workstation or server. Use the following steps to recover from an accidentally deleted Web application:
