Deleting Parser Database Files

When you update the parser database to include your own classes, new parser database files are created on your system.

If you unmount a filesystem and no longer want the classes in these files to appear in your code completion box and other features dependent upon the parser database, you can manually delete the parser database files and regenerate the database.

To delete parser database files you no longer want:

  1. Locate the parser database files you no longer want and manually delete them.

    The parser database files you add can be found in system/ParserDB in your IDE user files directory. To find your user files directory choose Help and choose About and click the Detail tab in the About dialog box. User Dir is listed last in the dialog box.

    The parser database consists of pairs of files with .jcb and .jcs extensions. The prefix is the one you specify in the Parser Database File Prefix field when you add a new package or filesystem.

    Delete both the .jcb and .jcs files.

  2. Exit and restart the IDE.

    The classes that were in the deleted files will no longer be available for code completion.

Tip When the parser database is regenerated, the previous database name and storage levels will be used. To rename a parser database, you will also need to remove the file storage.ser before you restart the IDE. However, if you delete this file, any parser storage levels you have set will be lost.
