Multiple Errors: DoPhysicalFiles - -

When I try to delete a file, I get the error "Multiple Errors: DoPhysicalFiles - - " I believe the probable cause of this is because the physical file has been removed, header is still sat in the "File" TOC in admin. How can I overcome this problem?  I have 2000+ files to delete, but I do not know how to check if the physical file exists before trying to delete.   Many thanks, Martin.

  • A Big thanks to Mike from support who gave the answer: string fileUrl = inn.getFileUrl(fileId, UrlType.SecurityToken); HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(fileUrl); request.Method = "HEAD";   Many thanks, Martin
  • Hi Meismart,

    are you still doing PLM? I right now face the same issue that you had 5 years ago.

    I get the same error message. Certain physical files have been removed from the Vault, but they still appear in the "File" table.

    I would prefer to clean up the wrong entries in the "File" table, but don´t want to erase the data directly in SQL.

    One idea I currently have is to rebuild the missing folder structures with fake files and then finally delete them again.

    But I wonder if you have found a more elegant solution?

    Thanks and best regards!

    If anyone else knows a good solution to this one, please let me know!!!!!
