removing vault proprietary files during deployment

Post by VaultNoob » Wed Jun 28, 2006 1:35 pm

Hello,

I used to use vault but when I formatted my hard drive I never got around to reinstalling it.

Anyhow, I remember one thing I didn't like about it was during deployment I had to manually remove all their proprietary files. Does the current version have a tool to do this?


(I really want to install it again hehe)

Not sure what you're referring to. Are you saying you uninstalled Vault and some files were left behind? That's possible, though uninstalling Vault should take care of deleting most items.

no no! *smile*

I'm referring to the folders Vault creates inside my project.

Say I have a asp.net web project, I remember that Vault creates folders inside my projects folders.

I didn't like having to clean out the Vault created files during deployment.

Are you referring to _sgvault and _sgbak folders? These are the hidden state and backup folders. They can be stored in the working folder or they can be stored elsewhere. The setting is in the Vault GUI Client under Tools->Options->Cache/Backup locations.

If this still isn't the right answer, then I need more specifics about the names/types of files/folders you are referring too.
