It was deleted via the cf admin interface, so I don't think undelete would have helped. I do wish Adobe would update the log interface to make it more useful. It hasn't changed much at all since at least 4.5. The navigation sucks and, apparently, there is no way to clear the logs so you don't have to skip over many months of log entries to get where you want (which is what I was trying to do) CF does not recreate the exception log. I ended up just reinstalling CF after backing up all the setting to a car file. That fixed the problem. When you have a new instance of cf...the exception log does not appear until you have an exception...so it would stand to reason that it would recreate it if it wasn't there at any other point. I don't see any logical reason why you would want to permanently delete the exception log or why you would even want that option.

If you are wanting the log information from inside the file then you will want an undelete tool to get the file back, but hurry because once the OS reuses the space it will be lost forever. Which usually could be awhile depending on the OS and disk size. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/113032480415921517411 On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 9:20 AM, Eric Roberts < ow...@threeravensconsulting.com> wrote: > > How do you restore a deleted log?
