Is there any way to delete map files
« on: September 03, 2009, 02:53:36 AM »
As you know I have been through batch download problems.

After manually loading 4m topos and .015 color tiles for the entire upstate of SC I decided to batch download all color aerials in a small section of same area. BIG mistake. my 800 meg download went over 6 gigs, does not contain all the color aerials - thank you microsoft for doing an update last night and shutting down my computer = AND = goes well outside of the box I delineated. I just want to cry.

Now if I delete files after the batch download started I am hosed because the map index thinks they are there and topofusion won't run. 

Is there any way to recover the work I did before I started the batch download or do I have to start all over again. I cannot live iwth the extra aerials because I want to put the files on other computers with smaller hard drives, it takes up too much space

I tried deleted the mapindex file but it did not recognize the existing maps when I reloaded so I had to restore it.......I think I am hosed

There's no way to delete maps like you describe.  So yes, pretty much you need to start over if the collection of map files are too large.

Very strange that it blew up like that.  So far I've seen the size estimates to be slightly above what the resulting files are.
