To delete them: In the view menu of the Search view (icon is a downward-pointing triangle, just to the left of the minimise/maximise buttons), select "show as list" instead of "show as tree".

(Obviously no fault of yours, that said. ) However, it works perfectly so many, many thanks. :-) – middaparka Jul 15 at 11:48 @middaparka: indeed, it's a bit bizarre to have to go to those kind of lengths!

The way I would actually solve this would probably be to do a search with Unix find or with the OS's file manager, and just refresh Eclipse after deleting the files. But at least we know there's some way to do it in Eclipse. – OpenSauce Jul 15 at 12:05.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
