Dear Bill,
The problem is a little bigger than deleting a folder, you are correct.
There is a real possibility of having some nasty relic of the subweb's FP
server extensions remain. Here is the best way to avoid those issues.
In FrontPage, click Tools... Server... Administration Home... (it takes you
to
http://yoursitename.com/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmdll.dll - and log-in with
your NT credentials), and at the bottom of the administration page, find the
Subwebs section, which reads, "The links below take you to administration
pages where you can create, merge, or delete a subweb, or manage subweb
settings. The following subwebs have been created for:
"
http://yoursitename.com". To view the administration page for a particular
subweb, click the subweb name. To view the home page for the subweb, click
the URL."
Before continuing on this page, close FrontPage completely. Note the 3
links: Create a subweb - Merge a subweb - Delete a subweb. Choose Delete a
subweb; select the subweb to delete in the Web Name box. All content in the
subweb will be deleted, including any nested subwebs. Click the Delete Subweb
button.
Before leaving this page, return to the Administration Home, and click both
links regarding Server Health - Check server health & Recalculate the Web -
when you are finished, close the page and restart FrontPage. Good luck, Bill.
