Deleted mp4 files still show up when export site to internet
Автор: Felix TanI have earlier placed 3 mp4 files on a page on my website www.xiangqicarnival.org.
I notice that, each time I made some edition elsewhere, these video files were uploaded again when I exported the site to internet. Further more, the system has also generated copies to two of the video files and attached different name tags. This has made the uploading process annoyingly slow.
I then tried a different plan. Delete those 3 video files from the page in question. I also deleted the folders containing the video files on my PC and that on the server. Then I posted the 3 video files to YouTube; returned to the page adding the videos but using YouTube links this time. To my surprise, the same things still happened. (please see the two screen snapshot attached.)
I guess WebsiteX5 must have created copies of those video files and stored them some where. Please enlighten me how I can get rid of those video files so that I don't have to waste so much waiting for the unnessary uploads.
Thank you

Hello Felix,
WebSite X5 uses an internal 'library' to keep track of all files associated with a particular project. So the key to success is to persuade WebSite X5 that the files you no longer wish to upload are no longer part of your project, and should be disassociated from the project library.
To this end there are a few things you need to do to ensure that WebSite X5 'forgets' that the files ever existed.
At this point you can now go ahead and upload to your web server, to confirm that the process has worked correctly. Be sure and delete any old files from the server first, of course.
Kind regards,
Paul
