How can I delete a file that is no longer associated with a page? I have an obstacle that prevents me from completing a task. I am trying to build an asset spry - specifically a vertical menu. When I built at the beginning of the page, I have built the menu. However, the look was rejected and asked me to re - create. I went back, deleted all references to the spry assets and stripped from the page menu. But when I open the page that I want to build the menu again, it always shows a .css and .js file associated with that event, even if they are not. And when I try to restore the assets, it will not add the file .css and .js appropriate because he thinks that the files are already created. See the screenshot below to see what I mean. If anyone has any idea how to tell Dreamweaver that these two files are more associated with the page, I would appreciate the help. It is the last major obstacle before I can complete a project. Thank you Ken Hello Provide you deleted all references to js/css files, (have you removed the code at the bottom of the page?), use the spry updater to insert your new js/css.
