Obliterate error

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 3:45 pm

I'm trying to obliterate a folder I deleted and I get the following error:

Unable to Obliterate item: $/FolderName

All branches of an item must be obliterated before the item itself can be obliterated. It is possible that some of the branched items have been deleted, but not obliterated. You must obliterate all branches before you can obliterate this item. This item has branches at:

<blank>

I don't know of any branches and it doesn't list any... Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Also note that 1.0 style labels (which are called snapshots in 2.0) count as branches. In order to obliterate the item, you must delete and oblterate the item from any labels and branches of it first

Thanks. The only problem is that I believe I have already deleted and obliterated any snapshots under that folder. Is there a way to undelete them? Any way I can find out where they are?

You can undelete an item by right clicking on the folder that it was deleted from. Choose properties from the context menu, and then go to the Deleted Items tab. Select the item to undelete.

If you've already obliterated the labels and branches, you shouldn't be getting the error.
