Re: [MiKTeX] pdfLatex won't compile until I delete archive.aux

[Jonas F. <jon...@er...>]

Hi!

My advice is to use the "r" alternative, i.e., proceed typesetting ignoring further errors. Then typeset again. If that doesn't help, you find a "Remove aux files" button under the "File" menu in TeXworks.

Well I doubt that deleting the .aux-file is actually necessary. In your above message the aux has been read and closed and the error looks more like a problem in the toc.

Auxiliary files like aux and toc are written during the first latex run and used in the next one. So they can contain faulty code from previous compilations. Quite often you can simply continue compilation by hinting "enter". The errors will go away in the next run. But in serious cases you will have to delete the faulty auxiliary files. There is no way around it (and I hope texworks has a button for it, as it is a rather common task).
