Hello, and please help.
I have been developing an application for several years, first in Delphi and now in Lazarus. It is very large with many forms. Recently, I wanted to start a new version and created a directory whose name reflected the current date. I copied the program's main form to that directory with the goal of continuing development of new additional forms there. I should have known that I was asking for disaster, because that is what has befallen me. Now, each time I try to compile the program under the former version, I get an "Exit 1" message. I have tried to find out how to cure this and that has been to no avail. So I tried to delete that new location, but the OS ? will not allow it. How can I delete this entire folder? Is the "shred" option the one I want to use or is there another way that does not sound so dangerous? Also is there anything else I can do to revert to my original program"?
Thank you in advance.
John
