All CGI scripts for a particular site are stored in the cgi-bin directory, unless specified otherwise. If you accidentally delete any files in the cgi-bin directory, you can recover them by going to the
Web Options
page and clicking the
Restore to default
link. Your existing files remain untouched, so you will not lose your changes. To get rid of undesirable changes in the script files, delete these files and then click the
Restore to default
link on the
Web Options
page. Also, use the
Restore to default
link to fix your temporary index page to default.

catalogues not to be deleted.
