How to delete just a file using upgrade
Hi,
Remove file from the component and Add this file name in the RemoveFiles Table, works. But I got a lot of files to be deleted in different components. Is there any practice for doing this? In my case, I have a bunch of web files and when I upgrade some of the files in different folders will be deleted and some may remain unchange and some will be added.
Thanks
Thurein

If the web file you want to remove is in a component of its own, you can set the component condition to 0 or a property which is always null like RETIRED.
Then set the 'reevauate condition' to TRUE.
This will re-evaluate the condition, since it is always false, it will remove the file.

Right now, the file I wish to delete is in a component, which contains many files, so, in this case, shall I delete manually from the component and add a row in the remove file table?
Thanks
