Delete a file from a TortoiseHG data source

Question

I use TortoiseHG to manage the source code on Windows, I forgot to edit the ".hgignor" file, and now I have a huge ".hg" folder, which I know because of the DLL and EXE and PDB files that I do not need them . Changing the ignore file now does not delete these files.

What should I do to completely delete these files from my TortoiseHg data source?

Answer 1

You can use the command hg removeto delete files in your repository. If you use TortoiseHG, you can right-click on the file and go to: TortoiseHG → Delete file.

See the “How to Stop File Tracking” section here.

Answer 2

if you want to stop tracking files, but leave them in the working directory, use hg forget. Help also says that you can achieve the same effect using hg remove -Af.
