Delete Dialog Box

When you want to delete a file in a project the IDE displays the following options.

Element Description

Safely delete (with usage search)

Select this option to search your project for all usages of the file before you delete it.

OK

Click to delete the file without searching for usages. This button is enabled only if you do not select Safely delete.

Preview and Refactor

Click either button to view a list of Warnings and Errors. These buttons appear if you select Safely delete.

This panel is inherited from Java safe delete, which behaves differently. This is why there are two buttons, Preview and Refactor, that do the same thing.

    List of Errors

Displays a list of warnings and errors. If the IDE finds any errors, you cannot delete the file until the errors are resolved. You can delete the file if there are only warnings.

Show Usages

Click to open the Usages window to view all occurrences of the file in the project.

Refactor

Click to delete the file. This button is enabled only if no errors are found.
