Use the cleanup Live Server option with caution.... It appears that whenever you have multiple Publishing Targets set up within your project, and only one is set as the 'Default Publishing target' - all of the pages within the inactive publishing targets are deleted automatically. I found this out the hard way a long time ago - changed the publishing target within a project to publish to a staging server so i could test may changes... Got a phone call from the client telling me that the live site had gone down. Logged onto the server and found that all of the pages withn the site had disappeared!
In my opinion you dont really need to 'clean up' pages on your site unless you are using a search tool that indexes pages within the file system (e.g. Microsoft Index Server). If your site search functionality crawls all the links within your site pages to index content, it won't be able to index any of the 'stray' pages. Of course this isnt ideal if you have limited server space...!!! Cheers, Kim On Dec 22, 6:47 am, Dave R <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah.. that's what we've noticed as well.
