I can not delete a file though its not referenced

julius.ewert1 — Wed, 04 Mar 2020 21:33:01 GMT

I can not delete several files neither in Fusion 360 nor in A360.

I confirmed that the files are not referenced in any other files in Fusion and A360 but i still get the error message that they are being referenced and that is the only error message.

I can delete some other files with no problem.

Why am i not being asked if im sure i want to perform an action instead of being restricted to do so?

(Sorry my frustration is speaking here xD)

I hope this can get resolved soon

Regards,

Julius Ewert

Normally this inability to delete a file is caused by a "Version" of the file that is being or is referencing another. It is hard to detect unless you go to A360, your database, and select the file and look at every version of the file and test to see it's references. Then then can save, the file being referenced, by a new name. Then you can come back and delete the original file you renamed and the file that was your problem to start with.

You find the references, by version, using the method shown in the Screencast.
