Folder Deleted from Source Web Remains in Destination Web After Publishing Web

This article was previously published under Q284447

SYMPTOMS

When you delete a folder and its contents from a source Web (for example, from a staging server or a test Web server), and then publish the Web, the folder you want to be deleted is still present in the destination Web. This problem occurs even if you click Yes or Yes to All when you are prompted to confirm deletion of the files during the publishing process. Although the folder you want to have deleted from the Web is still in the destination Web, the folder no longer contains any files or folders.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem and delete the folder from the destination Web, republish your source Web.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
