In MemoQ 8.4, how do I completely delete all local copies of an online project and then check out?

I have one folder I selected as project folder for all MemoQ files for this project. Besides this folder, which I easily just delete, is there any other folder where MemoQ saved the project files into that I also need to delete before I can check out the project one more time?

Select "My computer" as the project location and move to Recycle bin Oct 17, 2018

If you work on online memoQ projects, you connect to a certain server, check out, etc. The project is stored in "Mi computer", i.e. in the drop-down list where you have server names, choose "My computer".

If you work on online memoQ projects, you connect to a certain server, check out, etc. The project is stored in "Mi computer", i.e. in the drop-down list where you have server names, choose "My computer".

Now you should see the list of local copies of projects (can be from multiple customers). You can now simply select a project and click the "Move to Recycle bin" icon in the ribbon. You can now select your customer's memoQ server again in lieu of "My Computer", do a new checkout, and continue work.

Should you move an incorrect project to the bin, you can undo this by clicking the "View Recycle bin" icon, choosing your project, and then clicking the "Restore" icon.

Hope this helps! ▲ Collapse

Worked fine to move to recycle bin and check out the project again Oct 17, 2018

Thanks very much Tomas, worked fine after I checked out the project again. No more error message about access denied.
