Deleting place problem

Hello,

I noticed, that some place from my database can not be deleted.

Ahnenblatt warned me this way:
"This location cannot be deleted because it is still assigned to multiple people."

This place was assigned to only one person and I have already deleted from that person.
I do not know where the problem is.

Thank you for your answers
VS

Interesting problem.
1. You are in Places, not Addresses.
2. You can see the first tab "Persons" or the like.
3. There is nobody left? But you are prompted that there are persons remaining?

With my very old AB 4.09, I've got another problem: I remove the location from a single person that has that location and just make the location blank. I go back to the Places list and still find that person assigned to that place.

What if you export your family file into a *.ged file and open it with a plain text editor: Where does that place still appear? Is it still linked to a certain person or fact (lignes above are the context)? Or aren't you that familiar with that sort of programs to check this?

Hi VS,
install AB 4.32

Save your AB-File
Close AB
Restart AB

The "Place" is deleted.

Kind regards
Armin
