Hi,

I'm trying to delete an object in a module that has no visible in/out links (no link arrows, nothing in properties) however I keep getting the message:

cannot delete - object(s) have 2 incoming links (the first of which is via link module to object 634 from :2416)

(Before I purged the source module it put the name of it before the ":2416" bit.)

I would have hoped that purging a module would permanently delete any out links from that module, as before I understand they are only "soft deleted". It seems to have left a legacy.

If I try and delete the linkset it says cannot find module (or it did when the module was deleted but not purged).

Any ideas?

Any help appreciated,

Try: [1] ReCreate the module with the exact name in the exact folder. Delete the link-set. Then delete and purge the module. (This probably won't work since I presume the link module refers to a module's unique ID, not its name). [2] Get the Administrator to search for this module. Maybe you only thought you purged it, now you don't have R access anymore. [3] Have the Administrator run the Integrity Checker; you probably have a lost module. This may result in the module being put in folder Lost And Found, where you'll delete and purge it again.

Hi Louie,

Thanks for the reply, I tried the first method and it worked, though in a wierd way! The module was definately purged as I watched the administor do it. I did like you say and re-created a module of the same name, went to the object I wanted to delete and it was marked as having 9 in-links from a totally different (existing) module! These links I had access to so I was able to delete them and delete my object. It was a bit worrying how the links stored against this object had changed though.

Once again, many thanks!
