Groups and Status Column

There are 2 groups and 5 statuses for entries shown in the Delete Confirmation window.
 
 

Groups

 
Can be added to the File Operation Queue
 
Entries located in this group can be added to the File Operation Queue and be deleted from disk(s) later.
 
Cannot be added to the File Operation Queue
 
Entries located in this group can not be added to the File Operation Queue because they cannot be deleted from the disks. This group contains root/disk records that cannot be deleted, files/folders located inside archives (WinCatalog can't delete them), and non-file elements (virtual (blue) folders, tags, contacts, locations) - these elements exist in the catalog only and do not have a representation in the file system.
 

The Status Column

 
The Status column contains the explanation of the status for every entry in the File Operation Queue or in the Confirmation Window.
 
File/folder is found (disk is connected)
 
The disk containing the file or folder is currently connected to the computer and the file/folder is found on the disk. The file/folder can be deleted when processing the File Operation Queue.
 
File/folder is inside an archive
 
The file or folder is located inside an archive. WinCatalog cannot delete files and folders from archives, that is why it does not allow adding entries having this status to the File Operation Queue.
 
File/folder is NOT found (disk is connected)
 
The disk containing the file or folder is currently connected to the computer, but the file or the folder is not found. It may be already deleted, moved or renamed. WinCatalog allows adding entries having this status to the File Operation Queue, but an attempt to process the File Operation Queue will be finished with the error - file/folder not found.
 
Cannot be deleted from disk (root or non-file item)
 
If the entry is the disk root record (on the picture above you can see the Network drive has this status), it cannot be deleted. If the entry is the non-file item (virtual (blue) folder, custom item, tag, contact, or location), it exists in the catalog only and does not have a representation in the File System. WinCatalog does not allow adding these entries to the File Operation Queue
 
Disk is not connected
 
The file or folder can be deleted from the disk (it is not the root record and is not inside an archive), but WinCatalog can't check if the file/folder exists. You can add this entry to the File Operation Queue, but you need to connect a drive to process the Queue.
