Removing Files from Your Workspace

To remove files Perforce-managed files from your workspace, select Remove from workspace from the pulldown menu on the Files tab.

To remove multiple files:

1. Click the Files tab.
2. Select the directory that contains the files that you want to remove.
3. Select Remove from workspace... from the Action menu.
4. Choose the files to be removed. See Restricting Files Used in Commands for more information. The form also enables you to preview the file removal.

To remove a single file:

1. Click the Files tab.
2. Click the file that you want to remove.
3. Select Remove from workspace from the Action menu.

Only unopened files are removed. Opened files must be submitted or reverted first before P4Web can remove them from your workspace.

If you use any other means of removing Perforce-managed files—simply erasing them, for example—the Perforce metadata about your workspace will be incorrect. To reconcile Perforce's metadata with the actual state of your workspace, use the Remove from workspace command on files you've erased. To find out which files you erased:

1. Click the Files tab.
2. Click the first radio button in the File Filter box.
3. From that pulldown menu, select Files missing from workspace.
4. Click the Filter button.
