I cannot explain how the deleted files were replaced, but evidently not all of them were replaced or the database would work.
You didn’t tell me the name of the databases so I will call them GoodFAM and BadFam.
If you have a backup of GoodFam saved in some other folder, or on a removable disk, you shouldn’t have to worry about loosing it.
To get rid of all of BadFam, after you have done the File > Delete while BadFam is opened in Family Origins: Open the Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder containing the residue of BadFam. Highlight any files in the folder which start with BadFam and hit the delete key, or right click on each of them and select Delete from the dropdown menu.---I just thought of something, I am talking Windows 95-98, I don’t remember how Windows 3.XXworks. ---If your database name is more than 7 characters long, it will be trimmed to the first 7 characters for most of the filenames.
When you use the File > Delete service to delete a database in Family Origins, it only deletes the database which you have opened at the time. ((It isn’t bad with the earlier versions of FOW, but with version 8 and later, you can have more than one database opened, then it is the ACTIVE, or HIGHLIGHTED database that gets deleted. I have gotten the wrong one there a couple of times. Thank Bruce for quick and easy backups! ))
