Overview

Numbers are appended to titles when you:

• Create a Space that duplicates the title of a Space  
• Create a Folder Channel that duplicates the title of a Folder Channel in the same location
• Create a Folder that duplicates the title of a Folder in the same location 
• Create a File that duplicates the title of a File in the same location 

You should also be aware that objects in the Trash Can count as being in their original location and reserve their title until they are permanently deleted from the Trash Can. This can result in having numbers appended to an object's title despite there appearing to be no object with the same name in the Site Manager or Channel.

To stop these numbers from being added to titles, you must either use a different title or change the existing object's title to make the desired title available. Once available, you can then create a new object or edit an existing object to have the desired title.
