But now nothing is available under that Orphans folder, neither any tasks nor any QVW files (you can see the screenshot, after maximizing nothing is seen). So the source QVW might have been deleted/changed before removing the tasks.</P><P>Now question is, how to remove the Orphans folder, without tracing the missing QVW/Tasks?</P><P></P><P>Regards!!!</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:05:23 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Orphans-folder-in-Source-Documents/m-p/506678#M1269265 dmohanty 2013-09-11T12:05:23Z Re: 'Orphans' folder in Source Documents? https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Orphans-folder-in-Source-Documents/m-p/506679#M1269269 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P></P><P>You can't remove it.
