Unable to delete a file #49

Closed kzidane closed 4 years ago

kzidane commented 4 years ago

I made a directory called readability and opened a file readbility.c in it. I accidentally deleted the file. Since I had not coded much, I just decided to open a new file of the same name. However, when I type in the command 'open readability.c,' the same deleted file opens up but it does not show up in the file tree. And I am unable to compile it because the file does not actually exist in the readability directory. Is there a way I can start the pset2 Readability afresh? I tried by deleting the directory. But when I made the directory once again and tried to open the readability.c file in it, the same deleted file is opened 20200428_162435 up.

@Abhigya3159 did you delete the file while it's open? If so, try closing the file before deleting it.

I closed the file and then tried deleting it. I used the rm command to delete the file but it does not work because the file does not exist in the file tree.

To create a new fill the, click the + icon and choose New File or right-click on the folder and choose the same option.
