Import Items under AC, when deleting will not delete the item from the folder on the hard drive. It is simply deleting the association between AC and that file name on your hard drive.
For example look at the opposite situation: manually insert a file into the folder on your hard drive for patient #3702. Then open that patient's chart in AC, go to Import Items tab, and you will NOT see that file there. That's b/c the AC database is keeping track of what has been imported through the AC Importer.
On the same token, deleting the file from within AC deletes the ASSOCIATION between AC and the file, but not the file itself.
I agree w/ Bert, it's best to leave that file on the hard drive b/c you might need it and we all have OCD. It's a great therapeutic way to overcome the symptoms.
