| Upload FAQs - How do I
delete old files from my web space? |

Instructions for
removing files vary depending on whether you are using Front
Page or FTP. If you are using Front Page, it is
important that you remove the files using Front Page as using
FTP on a Front Page site can corrupt the extensions that allow
Front Page to operate.
Be VERY careful when removing files
from your site. ONLY remove files that you are sure you
put in the space. There are files put into your site
directory by the server to allow your site to function.
Deleting any of the server created files will cause your site
to stop functioning and may require the site to be totally
deleted and reinstalled to correct.

File Removal for Front Page
users: |
In Front Page, open
the copy of your website on your harddrive. In the
Folder List window on the left side, locate the file you would
like to delete. Single click on the file to select it
and right click for a menu. Select delete and a Confirm
Delete box will appear. Click Yes to delete the
file.
After deleting all the files you no longer need, publish your
site as usual. As the site is publishing, confirmation
boxes will appear asking if you want to delete the same files
off of the server. Click Yes and the matching files will
be removed from the server. |
