Problem with cleaning Import folder.

Post by THXTEX »

Hi

I have a problem removing 1 post in the Import folder. I have done a "Reset headers" but there is stille 1 post left, but nothing is shown in the Import folder. I have checked if it was a part of a post, but can not find it.

Any suggestions?

you can right click it, then invoke "purge headers..." if you want to get rid of it completely.

when you resetting a newsgroup - headers with bodies (blue or green notepad icon), flagged (red flag in the leftmost column) or marked for download (download mark) won't be removed.

also another way to clean the Import group completely (also Recycle Bin group) - in the workspace window right click the group and invoke "Delete". Since the Import group is a permanent group it won't be deleted itself but all its records without exception will be removed, the same effect as you would delete a newsgroup and then create it again.
