Working with files in Version Cue

Delete files or folders from a project

You can delete files or folders in Bridge or any Version Cue-enabled Creative Suite component. Deleting a file or folder from Version Cue is a two-step process that safeguards against accidental deletions.

The first step is deleting the file or folder and giving it Deleted status. Deleting hides the file or folder from normal view but does not erase it. The second step is permanently deleting and erasing the file or folder and its previous versions.

Note: Any user with appropriate privileges can delete files and folders unless the files or folders are marked as Checked Out or In Use (Acrobat). If you’re in a workgroup and a user is editing a file that you need to delete, you can reset the file’s lock by using Version Cue Server Administration.

In Bridge and Version Cue-enabled components of Adobe Creative Suite, you can view project files with Deleted status in Project Trash view. You can restore files or folders that have Deleted status to reinstate Version Cue management. Restored files and folders appear in their previous location in the project folder hierarchy.

Delete files or folders
1 In Acrobat, Flash, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, or Photoshop, click Version Cue in the Favorites panel in the Adobe dialog box, and open the project that contains the files or folders you want to delete.
2 Select the file or folder you want to delete and click the Delete icon in the toolbar.

Restore a deleted file or folder
1 In Acrobat, Flash, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, or Photoshop, open the project containing the file or folder that you want to restore in the Adobe dialog box.
2 Click Project Trash in the Favorites panel, right-click the file you want to restore, and choose Restore.
3 Choose Refresh from the Tools or Project Tools (Acrobat) menu to update the dialog box.
The file or folder is restored to its original location in the Version Cue project.

Note: To restore a file in a previously deleted folder, you must first restore the folder. Doing so restores the folder and all its contents.
