I am building web help. I recently removed high level topics from the web help. When I build them on my local, the web help does not display these topics. When I go to the published site, however, they still appear. It is only the link to them--selecting the heading leads to an error. But I can't see to remove the link. Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks!

Re: Web Content with Outdated Links
When publishing the content, do you have the "Remove Stale Files" checkbox checked?

Re: Web Content with Outdated Links
Coincidentally, I am now experiencing the same problem and I do have the "Remove Stale Files" checkbox checked in my destination!
In my case, I applied an "obsolete" conditional tag to numerous topics, set these files to be excluded within the target, and regenerated/republished the output. I happened to stumble upon one of these obsolete topics when searching the published website. But when built locally, the files were not included. I then manually navigated through the folders on the server and found these files with a very old "Date Modified" stamp. I would have assumed that they had been removed upon the previous publish, but they weren't.
