File source - delete file and re-import

Barry Simmons

I have deleted some files from M-files which were imported via the File Sources.

I now want to re-import the files using file sources again, however i have noticed that M-files will not re-import the file if it has the same file name as before

I've tried restarting the vault, but this has not worked. Please advise

    Hi Barry,

    Did you destroy the files after deleting them? If not, then they are still in the vault but they are kept hidden from ordinary users. As Admin you can create a View that shows deleted objects. In that view you can chose to undelete or destroy each object.
    If you have not yet destroyed the objects you are likely to get a conflict when trying to import again with the same metadata.

    BR, Karl
