Deleted Items Properties Tab

See Also

Displays a list of files and subprojects removed from the current project.

To display the Deleted Items tab:

  1. Select a project in the project pane of VSS Explorer.

  2. On the File menu, click Properties, and then click the Deleted Items tab.

Access Rights

You must have Read access right to use this dialog box.

Remarks

When you use the Delete command to delete a file or project in VSS, the deleted item is removed from VSS Explorer.  However, VSS continues to store the item, so you can retrieve it should you want to build an earlier version of the project.

After you recover or purge an item, it no longer appears in the list in the Deleted Items tab.  If no files or sub-projects have been deleted from the project this dialog will simply say “There are no deleted items for this project.”
