Find Deleted Items in Repository

Post by dmurty » Wed Jan 14, 2009 12:03 pm

Hi,

We have a repository that has been around for quite some time. It has been through a number of branches and merges. It has taken us sometime to detangle the branch mess to obliterate some very old branches. We are only left with a couple more files that we can not obliterate because vault says that the files still have branches to files that are deleted but not obliterated. I have searched our repository tree as much as I can but can not find these hidden deleted files. Is there a way to search recursively through the repository to find deleted items that have not been obliterated?

Thanks in advance

Beth

Run a history query on $, click recursive search, and in the Actions tab, select only the action of Deleted. See attached screenshots.
