  • 1.  Delete a Material

    Posted 11-06-2024 16:02

    I am getting an Status Log error about a missing Material that I no longer use. I've gone through the all the scenes seeing if this material (an image) is requested someplace and may be invisible, and it doesn't look like it is. 

    How can I clear this error? 

    (Category: Error Type: Material Owner/Scene: Texture Description: File not found)

    Thanks!

    Hi Danny,

    Is it possible you deleted the image, you deleted the Material in which the image is used from objects in the scenes, but you forgot to delete the actual Material referring the image (in Material Manager)?

    That's exactly what I did. How do I now clear this error?

    normally double clicking on the error will open the material in question?

    Yes. But how do you delete it?

    You can then see the name and find it in a material manager. 

    Or you can just connect it to an image and the error will go away. 

    If you are careful you can right-click and delete all unused materials but be careful as you will lose any unsigned materials.
