Deleting temporal path files

When starting MATLAB R2017b for MacOSX I obtain the following messages:

Warning: Name is nonexistent or not a directory:

/Users/jpeinado/Desktop/2018-JCAM-costayher-(revisionmetodos)/Codigos_hermites_2017 (01-06_2018)

.

I think these are former directories, but I dont know how to reset these paths

Answer 1

Open the tool to manage the path:

pathtool

There is a corresponding button in the toolbar also.

See also: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/what-is-the-matlab-search-path.html

By the way, you can find such methods by asking an internet search engine for "Matlab remove folder from path".

Ahhh!!! I found it with your http reference

the problem is on the /Applications/MATLAB_R2017b.app/toolbox/local/pathdef.m file

How can modify this file without editing it?

Can I edit this file with pathtool? I cant see that path in pathtool

Thank you very much for your help

pathtool is the Matlab function, which starts the GUI for editing the pathdef.m file. Either edit the file or select the folders in the GUI and when you press the "Save" button, the pathtool modifies the pathdef.m file.

I assume, you need admin privileges to modify the file.

Alternative: Use rmpath to remove the folders from the path and call savepath to store the path in the pathdef.m file.

Thank you very much. I had to edit the file with an editor. I dont know why the pathtool command did not work.

I edited pathdef.m with an editor. But I would like to know if it is possible to edit it using pathtool.
