Can I stop CbB from searching for deleted tracks?

[jonathan boose]

When I open a project with tracks I deleted I get prompted by the "find audio" box and I have to hit "skip" nine times in a row and click "ok" on the "some audio not found" message before I can open the project. 

How do I get rid of that?

Did you delete the tracks in Cakewalk? If you deleted them in the audio folder in Windows explorer then you've made a mess of it. If they are still in the recycle bin restore them and then delete them from within Cakewalk. 

Otherwise you can try doing a "save as" of the project.

I didn't delete the in the audio folder.  There are a lot of unused tracks in the audio folder but it can't find 9 of them and why is it even looking?

I do "save as" all the time. It doesn't seem to effect this.

Did you try a search of your hard drive?  Type the missing file name into search. 

A save as should stop Cakewalk from looking for those files as it will create a new project and audio folder if you "save as" outside the old project folder. Make sure to check "copy audio" option first.

When I "save as" outside the existing folder "Copy all audio with project" is default detected, as always and it created an empty audio folder. I did a search after between a half hour and 45 minutes (went to pick up take out) it found 2 files. I clicked "ok" or whatever I was prompted to do and it didn't do anything. Still no audio tracks in the empty folder and no reason to expect one to magically show up in the actual audio folder.

A picture of your track view might be useful.  It sounds like Cakewalk thinks you deleted the Audio from the tracks but not the tracks themselves. Do you have any hidden tracks?

I have never used the 'hide track(s)' function.

You may not have intentionally used it is all I was suggesting.
