Hi Richard,

This is created when you use a widget that uses any image asset. It is normal and nothing to worry about.

Hi Paul,

Thanks to you for your prompt reply, but there is many photo inside this "virtual" folder.

The problem is just I don't have a big ftp capacity.

Thanks Paul and glad to see you again.

Hi Richard,

If there are old files in there I recommend you delete the folder and in EverWeb go to File->Publish Entire Site.

If you there are still a lot of files in there, you will have to upgrade your website space because those files are required for your website.

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for your reply, the problem is, I don't see this folder with many old photos inside on my EW project ! I just see it once I publish the Site, this old folder is very big and slower the publishing.

Sorry but when you told me to "upgrade" my website what do you mean ?

Thanks Paul for you help and professionalism.

Hi Paul,

I found the problem, my website was in a Folder when I created it, I just delete this folder and just kept my page, and the "ext file" was disappear.

What do you suggest me about the folder in EW ?

Thanks Paul and sorry for this mistake ?

Best and have a good holidays

I mean to ask your web hosting provider for more space which might mean you need to upgrade your hosting package with them.

Which folder exactly? Whatever EverWeb is publishing is required for your website.

Hi Paul and thanks for your prompt reply, sorry if I didn't clear.

Ok for upgrade but it's more easy to not publishing that I don't need, and I found the problem.

About folder I told you, this is the folder you can create on the "web page list" on the left hand side of EW, I was create a folder with all my website pages in the past, I deleted this folder and kept only my pages, and the Ext Folder disappeared.

Best Paul and have a good day, or night -:)
