Project Files Not Deleted From Server

Thank you in advance if you can help.
Application: Robohelp6/Server6 and earlier versions. Don't
know about 7 or 8.
Output: Webhelp Pro
Background: Whenever I delete a topic from the publisher and
publisher a project to our server, the htm file for that topic is
not deleted. I started calling them "ghost" files because they
should be dead and gone. Some users access these files following a
direct URL hence providing them with outdated information. They
don't normally appear in the application search results but
hyperlinks to them work until the file is removed.
I've tried different publishing options to get them removed.
Check for delete files and republish entire project. The only way I
found to get rid of them is to delete the file from the server
manually. Another option is to delete the project from the server
and republish everything.
Question: Can anyone explain what is going on and if there is
something I can to make sure they are automatically deleted when
publishing.

Welcome to our community, David
I don't believe anything in RoboHelp publishing will actually
ever delete files. It's my experience that any file that needs to
be removed from the server has to be accomplished manually.
So I know this calls into question what exactly does the
option "Check for deleted files" actually DO?" Am I right?
Here's the deal. Upon publishing, a list is created. The
first round takes longest as it is also creating the list. When you
publish again, files are compared to the list.
Need updating? Nope. Skip it and move on.
Need updating? Yes. Copy and replace the file.
The option to check for deleted files slows the process. The
process then becomes:
Need updating? Nope. Does it still exist on server? Yes. Skip
it and move on.
Need updating? Yes. Copy and replace the file.
Need updating? Nope. Does it still exist on server? Nope.
Copy the file and move on.
Hopefully that helps you better understand what is happening.
Cheers... Rick

Deleted pop mail not deleted from server

mail retrieved from pop acct & deleted, and trash emptied, is not deleted from server, so it gets re-retrieved.
settings>delete from server> when removed from inbox, but the msgs are still on the server as viewed from the isp's web interface.

been there, done that;-}
Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
it seems mail.app is designed for imap, in that msgs can't be deleted when d/l'd by default, but must be config'd "when moved from inbox"

Hi,
I just worked on same functionality where i used a button to create excel file with context data and save in local system.
Use the following code under a button, So on click of button you can directly get the excel file saved in to your desktop without saving on the server
String ordcaeno="000"sysdate".XLS";
String str = "";
for(int j = 0; j< wdContext.nodeZflash_File().size(); j++)
str =str"\n" wdContext.node<<ABC_File().getABC_FileElementAt(j).getRecord();
try
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource
str.getBytes("UTF-8"), WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN
resource.setResourceName(ordcaeno);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.ALLOW_SAVE.ordinal()),
resource.getResourceName());
window.show();
catch(Exception ex)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException( new WDNonFatalException(ex), false );

IMAP option to not delete from server OR recommend alternate mail app?

Using POP in Windows computer and IMAP on iphone.
In the iphone, POP has the opton to "delete from server: never"
There seems no way to accomplish this in the stock mail app when using IMAP ?
Using POP on the iphone is not an option due to the longstanding issue of the Apple mail apps not sending a proper termination signal back. The mailbox remains locked until the server times it out for inactivity and cleans up the stale lock after 10 minutes. The result is "wrong password" on the computer if it then tries to retrieve during that period. It's a feature of POP by design to use a lock to prevent corruption caused by simultaneous access to the mailbox. BUT, BB,Android,Windows all handle this correctly so that their POP transaction (and the mailbox lock) only lasts seconds! Only ever see this persistent lock with Apple mail clients
The user likes to keep his phone inbox clean, he will delete messages as he deals with them as well as messages he is postponing to deal with on computer later.
Moving messages to a 'later' folder won't help, as that 'later' folder will not be available thru POP (for the computer)
They also don't want to use IMAP on the computer because they don't want their communications stored on the server any longer than necessary.
Can anyone recommend:
- Windows IMAP client which downloads all and keeps a local copy of inbox which does not synch with server inbox.
- Alternate mail app for iphone which allows "delete from device only // never delete from server "

That's not how IMAP works. If you want to keep the inbox clean, but not delete the messages, create folders and move the messages into them for later review.

HT2480 email not deleting from server when deleted from ipad

messages are not being deleted from server when deleted from ipad

Hello,
You need to tell us what the email service is. BES? BIS -- and, if so, what email provider? If BES, then see your BES admins. If BIS, then expect it to function in accordance with this KB.
Otherwise, you can try the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Is there a log of files/folders deleted from server?

Is there a log of files/folders deleted from our server that I can look at?

Hi again Christiaan, I'd be wary of upgrading your server just for this feature. This article mentions the pitfalls of the different server setups, loss of server preferences when upgrading etc...
The benefits of having file and folder creation/deletion logged could be easily outweighed by the loss of auto setup of users mail and the other features that 'just work' in a standard install.
Cheers

Some messages not deleted from server after downloading

We have about 1,000 mail users, all of whom use Apple's Mail app to retrieve their mail using POP. We've seen users' mailboxes on the server where not all messages have been deleted after downloading, even though the user's app has been configured to delete messages immediately after downloading. The strange thing is, undeleted messages appear in large non-contiguous blocks of time. Like there will be 100 messages from January, then 250 from July, and so forth.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Can anyone help me a) understand why this is happening and b) how to fix it? Thanks in advance to whoever can help.

Thanks- but I don't want the messages deleted when they are deleted from my Mac, I want them deleted when I download them. However, I just found the setting so I'm fine.
Thanks, again!

And if you want you could tell us a little more - like what type of account, what settings, etc

Spam/Junk not deleting from server

Up until recently I have been using Entourage 2004 to view my half dozen different email accounts (some POP, some IMAP). I have a work desktop G5, a traveling MacBookPro and a PowerBook G4 at home. On one particular account the junk has begun flooding in.
In Entourage, I simply clicked on the envelope icon, clicked "delete from server" then deleted it from whichever computer I was running, and never again saw the offending email.
I switched to Mail in Leopard because I felt iSync would be a major help in bringing all computers together. I would have copies of sent mail as well as received mail, and so on.
The problem is: when I delete junk from one computer - it's still there waiting for me on another computer. I know this because if I run Entourage again, all the junk comes pouring back down the line.
How can I delete selected stuff from the servers?
Cheers,
SNaP!

I think more of a Mail application issue or a Mail application issue only.
This doesn't resolve the problem, but although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. This isn't a problem with an IMAP account which is designed for this very thing.
Which Comcast app are you referring to? Is there a Comcast app via the iTunes app store? If so and you want to ensure messages are deleted from the server after being accessed with your iPhone, you need to use the Comcast app.

IPad Mail not deleting from server

Does anyone else have this problem? I have my mail accounts set so that they should delete emails from the server as soon as they are deleted from ipad. It doesn't seem to work though.. as I just came back home after a trip and all the dozens of email messages came flooding into my Mac inbox
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I also need to delete the mail on the ipad's mail trash perhaps...

SO SORRY for not responding.... For some reason I have not been getting emails saying there are replies to this topic.
As it happened, I thought I had solved the problem, but I haven't...
In the settings for my email accounts, I am offered the option of my emails being deleted from their server as soon as I delete them from the iPad email inbox. However, when I choose this option, they are not deleted.
DAVID I do not have the setting that you describe available for my email accounts either... It seems that different setting options appear according to the nature of the email account that is being set up.
It is clear to me that the way I have set things up is correct for what I want though, as it's very clearly stated in Settings... It's just not happening....

Comcast email not deleting from server

Under the "advanced" section I have my email set to remove from server when removed from inbox. Well, this does not happen! Is this an ATT issue or a Comcast issue?
If I use the Comcast app and delete email, it IS deleted from the server.
Thanks!

Files NOT deleted from hard drive

iTunes will not send files to my recycle bin, only from remove them from my library. I have 2 computers with 7.0.2.16 running. One will ask me if I want to move files to my recycle bin, which it will then do. The other won't ask and won't delete them. I am unable to find any preferences item that would prohibit iTunes from deleting files, so what have I done to stop it and how do I change it?
Thanks in advance for your time.

At some point, I guess you accidentally clicked on the box for "Do not ask me again". At some point I'll figure out how to fix it with a script/program, but until then, the only fix is to close iTunes and then rename or delete your preferences file<pre>C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml</pre>
Unfortunately, you will lose all of the rest of your preferences too

Photostream files not deleted from iphone 5 when deleted from PC (Win 8.1)

My 16 GB iphone 5 is way too full, and i cannot empty it! I moved all the photostream photos to a separate folder and deleted the contents of iCloud Photos/My Photo Stream but it doesn't sync w my iphone whose photostream has 1000 photos.
And no I do not want to delete one thousand photos by manually selecting them.
Thanks for your help! -d.

Hello dalpay
You may just need to turn off your My Photo Stream and then toggle it back on for it to sync properly. When dealing with multiple devices, My Photo Stream does not work in the same way as a Shared Photos Stream. You may want to go that way if you want Photos sync across all devices the same way.
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
If you prefer to have only the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices, and delete the older photos:
If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (on a device using iOS 6, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream). Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
Repeat these steps for each device.

Ppt files not opening from server

Hello all,
Strange things are happening;
A MacBook (leopard) places a PowerPoint (ppt) file on the server. It has been made with Microsoft office 2008 and saved as 97-2004 compatibility because there are some co-workers who are not entirely up-to-date.
The files are placed on a 10.5.6 server with AFP, DNS, Open Directory, and SMB running. A client is opening the server share from its Vista client and double clicking the ppt to open it directly from the server, it starts up powerpoint in windows, but then it says "Document cannot be opened/read, do you want to open a copy?"
If so the document opens and can be read. On the server a copy appears.
If the vista client makes a copy of the file to its desktop and opens it from there, there is no problem at all.
Macs have no issue opening the ppt from the share.
Also, if the Windows client first makes a copy of the ppt and then opens it, its all okay. Its like Vista first needs to make the file "windows like" before able to open/edit it.
Repairing disk permissions, updating office with a service pack 2 is not a sollutions. Any1 any ideas?
Many thanks.

Thunderbolt-email not deleting from server

I checked my settings and the box is checked to delete messages from the server once they are deleted off of my phone. This problem is just in the past week or so. I delete them and as soon as email refreshes again they are back. HELP!

ok I deleted and reinstalled the email account and that did not work. I then logged into web mail and deleted the items from the server. I then went to the TB and under settings deleted all data from the mail app. I then set the email account back up and no longer seem to be experiencing the issue. If you are having this issue and need a clearer explanation please let me know. Thanks!
