Deleting files from Translation Project in MemoQ Thread poster: Alexandre Pinel

Hello everyone,
I have been working on a translation project for several years and I have several dozens of thousands of files in the same project. I import several dozens of files every week and sometimes it takes me a while to find them amongst all the other files.
Therefore, I was wondering: does it change anything if I remove files (files I finished translated, exported and already sent to my client, obviously) from the project? For example, does it alter the TMs,... See more Hello everyone,

This is also the way we work in my office (i.e. keeping the project and replacing files as they come, so that we do not need to reconfigure TMs, TBs, settings...). Simply delete the files you need to get rid of. The translations will be in your translation memory for this customer, right?

I delete files as soon as the job is paid by client. This [payment] guarantees that I have sent the translation to client and that it is in my TM. Nothing else is needed. Delete.

Hello everyone, thank you for your replies, it worked, thank you. I deleted the files and they still appear in my concordance search results, that was my main concern! Have a great day!
