Delete Maps selection

I think I did something bad. I clicked on the "Delete Maps" key to see what was thinking it would give me a choice to delete or cancel out, but it automatically deleted. If these are the RSII maps I really didn't want to delete them. Is there a way of recovering them?

Where is this option?

If you installed your game onto the 'C' drive they may be in the 'Recycle Bin'.....

OK, don't worry about deleting the map.rwm it has no real effect.

When you first install RTW there is no such file. When you launch the game it creates the map.rwm from various text files in the data folder.

If you load a campaign and the map.rwm file is not there it will quite happily re-create the file again. There may be a slightly longer delay in the campaign loading but it doesn't take that long.

In the past sometimes the map.rwm file has been corrupted and the campaign won't start. An easy fix is to simply delete the file.

If there ia a change to the files that ar eused to create the map then the map.rwm file should be deleted.
