Question

I am having a problem about deleting attachment with same name and is following the advice in this topic DeletingAttachmentsWithSameName, but I am stuck with the creation of an empty Trash.TrashAttachment topic: Does it mean to create a Trash topic, then a TrashAttachment topic whose parnet is then assigned to the Trash topic? If that's the case, which Web should I create the Trash topic under? Twiki or Main or my project web?

Or maybe I am on the wrong track, please help.

Not being able to delete an attachment of same name is a known issue.

Workaround 1: On the shell level, remove data/Trash/TrashAttachment.txt* and pub/Trash/TrashAttachment/*; then using the browser, re-create an empty TrashAttachment topic in the Trash web.

Workaround 2: Using your browser, go to the Trash.TrashAttachment topic, rename it so something else (such as Trash.OldTrashAttachment), and re-create an empty TrashAttachment topic.

On the Workaround 2, On the file level, I do see the Trash directory under /home/httpd/twiki/data. But in navigation area on the left of browser, I can only see webs of Main, Sandbox and TWiki, but not Trash, how do I rename its TrashAttachment topic and re-create it?

If you are in the TWikiAdminGroup you should see the Trash web. In any case, you can go to the Trash web by typing Trash. (including the dot) into the Jump box. The WebHome topic lists the TrashAttachment topic.

Thanks Peter, I finally can see the Trash web by typing "Trash." in TWikiAdmin account. But another problem comes up: Through TWikiAdmin account, I can't see the "Create New Topic" function on the navigation area when it's on Trash web, is there something I should set in WebPreferences to enable the creation function?
