Periodic workspace save could not save safe table?

I'm a newbie and I'm using the IBM RAD which is based on Eclipse. After install I deleted some files that seemed not needed in C:\workspace. Now I get this error: enter image description here "Periodic workspace table can not be saved, file could not be found, could not save file table to C:\workspace.metadata..." Could you tell what I should do to resolve the error? Thanks

This probably happened beacuse you deleted .metadata folder in your workspace folder in "my documents" folder in windows. Solution: Reinstall

This error message happened to me when I was copying old project files and importing (all) files to new project. I did following and solved the issue:

  1. Created a new workspace, and switched current workspace to that
    one, and close Eclipse.
  2. Created a missing folder, in this case, "org.eclipse.core.resources".
  3. In Eclipse, switched to previous workspace, and started working with Eclipse. After a while, Eclipse created necessary files and that error message was gone.

If you get this error in Linux environment, just update the ownership of the file below, and make the owner as same as the owner of the workspace folder:

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.safetable/org.eclipse.core.resources

This solution works for Eclipse version 4.3

Restore the files you deleted.

If you have no way to do that, create a new workspace (File > Switch Workspace > Other...) and then import your projects from the old one into the new one.
