Board index » off-topic » Folder still exists after renaming it

We are using StarTeam 5.2. In a project with one view, I renamed a folder by going to folder properties and changed the name. The folder appears changed in the StarTeam client. However, when I use an ant script to build using the STCheckout task, the older folder is retrieved from the repository. The newly renamed folder is also retrieved. Why does this older folder exist? Is there a way to remove it from the repository? Thank you.

What I do know is dat you *never* can remove anything from StarTeam:
everything that has been added to the repository is a part of the
history of your project, and will allways stay.
This means that when you rename an obect at a certain moment, StarTeam
will allways remember that it had the other name before that time. Just
go to "Select Configuration" in the View menu, and select a moment
before the change. You will see the object with its old name, until you
set the Configuration back to "Current".
It looks like in your case some process doesn't realize on what
Configuration it should focus, so you see the object twice, with both
its names. I don't know how this can happen (sorry...).

Andy,
In the Properties for the folder, there are two locations that the name
needs to be changed. At the top is the name property which you have changed.
But also, near the bottom of the dialog is the "Working Folder" property.
This also needs to be changed. (Learned this the hard way).
