Remove file from Installation

Hopefully this is an easy one 🙂
I've inherited a Basic MSI installation. for some reason it includes .csproj files and .svn folders I need to remove those. (see image attached) However if I go to the Application Data\Files and Folders, navigate to this file or folder, right click it- option to delete is disabled.
Same if I go to the Organization\Componets=-Web\Files Delete option is disabled.

What am I missing?
Thanks!

The image you posted show that those files are being added within a "Dynamic File Linking". If you want to remove them from the project, remove them from the source folder. To know the source folder, just right-click on the "Files" option under the component and select "Dynamic File Linking". You'll see a list of folder used for file linking. This means that at build time, InstallShield add all files in that folder to your project, so if you remove some of them, they won't be added in your package.

Make sure to read the help about "Dynamic File Linking" as you should be careful about the files you remove.

Hope that helps 😉
