[SOLVED] Remove unwanted .user files

I removed a bunch of .user files from my HeroLab folder and now a couple of my older characters spit out a screen of "Critical information not found in data files:" errors. How do I fix these without re-adding the .user files?

Just dirty up the portfolio and re save it.
By dirty up I mean add a space onto the name then delete it.

Once you save the errors will disappear, however you might want to check that nothing's missing from the character first!

Hope this helps

Nope, that didn't work. I am still getting the errors.

Was there another error report - one that you got when you launched the Pathfinder files, and before you opened that character? Does it say that Hero Lab has gone into safe mode?

If so, right-click on that report, copy it's contents, and paste it here. The very first error report you encounter is the one that's reporting the underlying problem - all the rest are just reporting symptoms caused by that problem.

No. The only error I get is this:

Code:

Critical information not found in data files: Source 'Hollow's Last Hope'

Critical information not found in data files: Source 'Revenge of the Kobold King'

Critical information not found in data files: Source 'We Be Goblins!'

Critical information not found in data files: Source 'Wayfinder #1'

Critical information not found in data files: Source 'ShadowChemosh's Concentration Skills'

Critical information not found in data files: Source 'Tome of Secrets'

Just to be clear, the instruction bodrin gave you will only stop the error from being reported on that character - it will not stop the report from appearing on any of the other charaters you've saved unless you repeat the procedure for them, too.

I only tried it on this character and it is still erroring.

You opened the character (and saw the error messages).

Then changed something (and un-did the change).

Then saved the character.

Then closed the character.

Then re-opened that same character, and you got the error again?

Yes, I have been using this character in a ongoing campaign and have made changes for the last year. I removed the user files like 4 months ago and still get these errors.

Let me check with Colen. That should have worked, but it isn't working on this file. Maybe something was modified in HL as to how it deals with sources that you have checked (the
