removed from the Navigator window.
In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder where your database was created and stored, or the
default location – for example:
C:\Program Files\Leica Geosystems\Cyclone\Databases
to see that the file has not been deleted – it still exists, but is now not linked to Cyclone.
 Notice that the actual database file Test.imp still resides on your hard drive. This
is because the database file has not actually been deleted; it is only the active
link between Cyclone and the databases that has been cut.
