Not able to delete File from Repository

Former Member

I try to delete a Folder with some files but it fails with a Error telling that my version is older then the one in the Repository.

It says "The latest Version id: 8. Your inactive version id: 6"

I just want to remove it completely.

I am not sure how it happened, but I guess it happend because two Persons used the same User to logon to Hana and work on it.

Any suggestion?

Yes, perform a check out on the project. This will bring the latest version down into your workspace. This should disregard your inactive object version and let you delete.

It does not help anything.

I Choose CheckOut for the Project

Then I look on the File History of the File.

I still see there Version 7 in my History, but as mentioned before the Server Version is 8

Trying to delete it then fails with the same Error.

If I try to Checkout the File only then I get a dialog "Forced Checkout" (remote version was changed since last change: ...".

I say yes to "run forced checkout to overwrite changes".

Still no success.

I would try unsharing the project, deleting it (including the local files), then re-check it out from the repository. That will surely give you the latest version. Of course unless you have pending inactive versions in your workspace. Those should be resolved first.
