HOW TO USE THE GARBAGE CAN

Did you ever think you'd find yourself reading instructions on how to use a garbage can? Well, here's how to delete a file or files in GeoManager...

When you first select Professional Applications, you enter GeoManager's World directory. But you can use GeoManager to see any directory on your hard drive. Just click on the drive C: icon in the lower right corner of your screen. You'll see a screenfull of file folders, one for each directory on your hard drive. Click on the one you want to see. Notice the screen changes to show you all of the files in that directory.

There are two methods to delete one or more of the files you see on your GeoManager screen now. The easiest way is to point your mouse at the file you wish to delete and clike the RIGHT mouse button. Hold it down while moving (dragging) to the garbage can. You'll see a tiny outline of a square as you go. When you get to the garbage can, release the right mouse button. You'll be asked if you really want to delete the file, say yes.

The alternate method can be more useful for deleting a group of files. This time, point the mouse at the file you want to delete and click the LEFT button. The file is highlighted. If you want to delete several adjacent files, hold down the left button and drag the outline you see until it encircles all the files you want to delete. When you release the left button, all files you want to delete should be highlighted. Now click on FILES, then Delete. Again you'll be asked if you really want to delete the file or files, say yes.

Remember, to use the garbage can method, you must click the RIGHT moust button.. the left one will never get you to the garbage can.
Also, please use care when deleting files, one wrong click can wipe out important work.
