StarTeam: How to detach labels from a deleted folder?

Question

I had deleted a folder/files, but forgot to detach a label before deleting the folder/files. I delete a folder named "data", so that I can create a new folder with the same name "data". How do I detach the label from the old folder "data"?

I tried:

1. Go to VIEW > SELECT CONFIGURATION.. to go to time where the label was. Now i can see both the old "data" and new "data" exist in the view.
2. Next I select old folder "data" and right-click on it select "Labels" > "Detach"

3. I select the label i wanted to detach, and click "Ok". But I got an error msg:

   "Labels can only be modified from a view configuration that is current or rolled back to the label being modified."

Please kindly help me. Really need this. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Roll the label forward to a time after the label was created but before the files were deleted, rather than rolling the view to the label itself.

Instead of going to Labels > Detach, select the items you wish to "unlabel" and then select the Labels tab in the bottom pane. Then, right-click on the label you wish to remove and click on Detach.
