csmw multiple files uploaded

Hello Group,

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and have built a site using CSS Menu Writer.
The site has both horizontal and vertical menu navigation.
The site has been functioning fine for many months after upload.
I am happy with it.

When I created my two menu systems I did work for some considerable time on changing and modifying of the basic layouts by repeatedly using Menu Writer. I have also detached pages from the templates.

I have now ended up with multiple cssmw files, numbered upto cssmw46

All of these have been uploaded and I wonder if there are duplicates that could be deleted?
Everytime I sync my site it spends considerable time checking these files.

It there any way that I can do this safely without compromising my navigation?
I am having trouble identifying the specific file used for each menu creation retrospectively!

Would you advise I ignore the mutiple files uploaded or should I try and slim down my site?
Thank you for your assistance and advice.
With regards
Alan

before deleting any of the folders, you will need to see which ones are being used by the menus on the page.

If you post a link, I can tell you which ones are being used on the page so you could delete the unneeded ones.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your reply.

My main index page is at www.triplantanol.com

Just an additional thought..would it also be necessary to check other pages deep within my site incase they were made with different cssmw files?

With regards

Ok, looking at the source code of your page, the top menu uses the cssmw_content folder:
<ul class="level-0" id="cssmw_content">


and the side menu uses the cssmw4 folder:
<ul class="level-0" id="cssmw4">


yes, you should check the other pages in your site to see if they use different menus.

Jason,

Thank you for your advice and suggestions. I will investigate furthur and delete accordingly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

It would seem all the other menu configurations are surplus to requirement. I have just been surprised to see they were all saved and uploaded.

Thanks again for your help,
With regards
Alan
