how to delete unneeded or old projects?

Am I missing something?
How do you delete old projects that are no longer needed?

Can you be more specific.
What is happening that you're not expecting?

I've started several projects learning flowcode.
I do not need them and would like to delete them.
When I want to open a project there's a few I no longer want and would like to delete them out of the list.

Hello.
Now I understand.
As Flowcode currently does not have that function built in, I have created an app to do that for you.
It will list all your files, then you will have the option to Select all, Select none or individually select a checkbox next to each entry.
So far there is not a memory function built in so you can't undo the changes.
It is zipped up as as can't upload exe files

Before running the app, all Flowcode projects opened must be closed.
If Flowcode is running, the deleted file /s will be restored as soon as Flowcode has shut down.

Note, with some antiviruses if running a scan on the exe file it could show as a virus.
The only reason is the file update only the relevant Flowcode windows registry and that's what the virus is moaning about.
I personally created the exe app and not downloaded it from the internet.
I can ensure you its totally virus/malware etc free.

Thank You Martin

I thought for a minute there that maybe I was going nuts.
It's rough enough being a complete newby at programming why was I not seeing a delete option.

You're welcome.
Can you please let me know if the app works well for you.
One advantage with your post is you have given the idea for any future planned releases.
Thank you for that.

Hi

Personally speaking, I have found the recent files option to be quite helpful. On occasion I have lost track of the name of the file I was working on, or more likely which folder I stuck it in, and having FC know is a bonus

Maybe I should just get better at filing......

Regards

You are in luck as I'm going to change the code so you can browse and add your own files, so you can swap with the old and replace with the new.
As that is not a forum request I will modify the code in my own time. Unless no one is interested, then I won't.

Sounds neat....

Yes please!

Yes please!

Sure and thank for your interest
In that case I have made improvements that now allow up to 16 entries, can save or load backups, and you can now select any flowcode project and add it to the recent files list.

I have cut off the actual file list in the image for privacy.
Can you let me know how it works for you and any bugs/suggestions etc. are most welcome.
