I've been using Webmatrix for some time and I have accumulated many websites in the 'MySites' list so I decided to remove some sites but I couldn't find a fonction for that so I decided to remove the sites manually by deleting the folders but to my surprise
they still are in my 'MySites' list. Of course if I click on a site I get a 'path not found' which is ok because I have remove the site's folder. I searched in the folders and the registry and could not see where the data for the list comes from. I have completely
uninstalled WPI & Webmatrix and checked that their folders where removed by the uninstall program and it did so the information is coming from outside the installation folder.
So how do you delete some entries in the 'MySites' list ?
If you have manually deleted the folders, you should go to My Documents -> IISExpress -> config and open the applicationhost.config file. Find the relevant site entries within the <sites> node and delete the ones that no longer exist.
For future reference, you should open the site within WebMatrix first, then right click and choose Delete, then remove the actual folder.

Perfect.
I think there is no way to delete them without actually loading them before. Now everything is clean.
Thank you.
