## Documents that leave Nordvec [#documents-that-leave-nordvec]

A document in Nordvec follows its file on your computer. These are the two ways one is removed.

### A document left Nordvec after its file was moved, renamed or deleted [#a-document-left-nordvec-after-its-file-was-moved-renamed-or-deleted]

**Cause:** A document is in Nordvec because its file is in a watched folder. When the file is deleted or moved out of the folder, its copy is removed. A renamed or moved file is a new path, so it syncs again as a new document.

**Workaround:** Put the file back, or wait for the moved file to sync. A file that is back on disk before its removal runs keeps its document.

### Documents left Nordvec after you stopped watching or excluded a folder [#documents-left-nordvec-after-you-stopped-watching-or-excluded-a-folder]

**Cause:** Stopping watching a folder, or excluding a subfolder, removes its documents from Nordvec. The files on your computer are not touched.

**Workaround:** Add the folder again, or remove the exclusion, and its files sync again.
