Deleting files

To delete a file from the depot, you must delete it using Visual Studio, mark it for delete using P4VS, then submit the changelist containing the marked file. When you delete a file, a new revision marked deleted is stored in the depot and the file is removed from your workspace. Previous revisions in the depot are not affected.

To delete a file:

1. Right-click the file and choose Delete.

   P4VS asks if you want to mark the file for delete.

2. On the P4VS dialog, select the default pending changelist or a new changelist

3. Click Yes.

   P4VS marks the file for delete and it is placed in a changelist.

4. Submit the changelist containing the file. The file is deleted from the depot and your client workspace.

If you want to keep a file in your project but avoid adding it to Helix Server control, use Ignore Lists. For more information, see Excluding Files from Helix Server Control.
