Tool database problem

Post by racerbear »

I have a small problem with my tool database, I created a group called My Tools to distinguish it from the default offerings until I get more experience, after a while I wanted to change the way I worked and decided to put all the tools into the 'root' area of the database and delete the 'My tools@ group, however despite there being nothing in it,
am,unable to get rid of it, I have clicked on the agree message to delete the group and all its contents, I even put a tool in it to try, but it refuses to go. Not a big deal I realise, but it makes the place untidy :D .

Could anyone suggest how I can remove it, I have looked for the tool database in the program file to try to edit it out there, but I cannot find it, does anyone know the location of that file in 32 bit Windows 7 please?

Thanks as always in advance.

You can't edit it directly. The database is a binary file.

There has to be one group in the database. You can't delete all of them.

OK thanks, I have other groups in the database, it is just this one will not go. Like I said, no big deal, just offending my OCD :D

And eliminating the tools of that group, one by one, and then the group.

Y eliminando las herramientas de ese grupo , una a una , y luego el grupo . Traducción google
