Removing Files from Your Workspace

To remove files Perforce-managed files from your workspace, select Remove from workspace from the pulldown menu on the Files tab.

To remove multiple files at one time,

1. Click on the Files tab.
2. Select the directory that contains all of the files that you want to remove.
3. Select Remove from workspace... from the pulldown menu at the top of the screen.
4. Choose which files will be removed in the form that comes up; see Restricting Files Used in Commands for more information. The form also allows you to preview the file removal, showing you exactly which of your workspace files will be removed.

To remove a single file from your workspace,

1. Click on the Files tab.
2. Click on the file that you want to remove.
3. Select Remove from workspace from the pulldown menu at the top of the page. This removes the current file immediately unless you have it open in your workspace.

Only your unopened files will be removed. Opened files must be submitted or reverted first before P4Web will remove them from your workspace.

If you use any other means of removing Perforce-managed files -- simply erasing them, for example -- the Perforce metadata about your workspace will be incorrect. To reconcile Perforce's metadata with the actual state of your workspace, you should use the Remove from workspace command on files you've erased. To find out which files those are,

1. Click on the Files tab.
2. Click the first radio button in the File Filter box.
3. From that pulldown menu, select Files missing from workspace.
4. Click the Filter button.

P4Web actually runs a sync command to synchronize to a special-purpose revision known as #none to remove files from your workspace.
