Chris@497: <h2>I just deleted a file using the system file manager &ndash; then remembered I hadn't told the version control tool about it &ndash; what now?</h2>
Chris@497: 
Chris@497: <p>No problem.</p>
Chris@497: 
Chris@497: <p>Any files that the version control system knows about but that can't
Chris@497: be found in your working copy are shown as <b>&ldquo;Missing&rdquo;</b> under &ldquo;My
Chris@497: work&rdquo;.  All you need to do is:</p>
Chris@497: 
Chris@497: <p><b>1. Find your file in the &ldquo;Missing&rdquo; list and select it</b></p>
Chris@497: 
Chris@497: <p><b>2. Click Remove in the toolbar on the left of the window</b></p>
Chris@497: 
Chris@497: <p>This tells Mercurial that you haven't merely lost the file, but that
Chris@497: you intended to remove it.  The next time you commit, it will be
Chris@497: removed from tracking in version control.</p>
