How do I delete a genealogy?

Your genealogy file is stored on your computer hard drive.

Heredis is a desktop software, which means that your files are saved on your computer. Only you can access it, we do not have your files. That’s why you should always make backups to USB key or external hard drive.

To find your files, see Find a file on your computer.

Heredis needs it to be on the hard drive of the computer to be able to work properly, you should not launch the file from a removable disk (USB key or external hard drive) and even less from a cloud.

You can delete a genealogy by placing the file in your computer’s Recycle Bin.

On Windows

• Select the folder with the name of your genealogy and with the extension .hmw.

• Right-click on your mouse.
• Choose Delete.
• Windows puts your file in the Recycle Bin. It will be totally deleted when you will empty it.

On Mac

• Select the file on behalf of your genealogy.
• Hold down the left mouse click to drag the file to the Recycle Bin.
• Drop the file to the Recycle Bin.
• It will be totally deleted when you will empty it.

Note : Once this is done, if you empty the Recycle Bin, the file will be deleted and cannot be restored. If you have not made a backup, we do not have your file. It is therefore useless to contact us to recover it.
