Really? You removed a file in the Booth_?.TMG dataset. Are you saying
that other datasets, covering other groups of people, were affected? If
they showed up as damaged, I do not believe the damage was caused by the
deletion of that one file. Datasets are not intertwined with each other.

As Lee has indicated, the entire dataset consists of files that reference
each other, and thus are intertwined.
