Phantom LCF file in Library Manager

Richard Morrison — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:34:32 GMT

I was getting duplicate object messages, so I deleted an LCF file from the library. However, even though the file no longer shows up with Windows Explorer, it is STILL displaying in the Library file system in the original directory, and I'm still getting duplicate object messages. Yet, the file is not there!

Yes, I've reloaded the libraries multiple times. It's as if there is some sort of library cache that is not gettiing cleared out. Any ideas?

Yes Richard, there is a library cache. The file is called ArchiCADGdlBinCode.dat and it resides in:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD-64 Cache Folder\ArchiCAD-64 17.0.0 INT\

AppData is, by default, a hidden folder so you may have to make it visible first.
