Cant delete unknown asset

[AntonyVW]

I have an asset, <kuid2:661281:65042:2>, which is on a route Ive been making. Its marked as "unknown asset". Not sure why, but it wont let me delete the asset from the route either in route, or using the content manager. I can see from trainzland that it is called "TFX grass 18 seasonal", but I cannot download it from there.
How can I get rid of it?

If the asset is marked as "unknown asset" it may have been part of the route in the past but is no longer present or available. The first thing to check to allow for it to be deleted, is if it is part of a TurfFX layer. Possibly the layer could be deleted and take the reference to the asset with it. If it persists beyond that, you could try removing reference to it in the route config, making sure to remove ALL references to the asset in the config. In future, try getting the name of the asset from the corresponding kuid in the config.
Please do not refer to that particular Russian site on this forum, as they are notorious for hacking, theft of assets and hosting stolen payware. They are also an almost certain way to expose your device to hackers and malware.

Thanks for the info on that site. I was not aware of its problems. Fortunately the email I used was one that is about to disappear as I dont use it any more. As for the rest of your post, I will see what happens when I look at it again. But thank you.

deleting the effect layer did the trick.
Thank you.

Can that unmentionable site cause you to be hacked especially if you are running an unsupported Windows like 8.1 which is no longer receiving security updates? I got hacked earlier last year and bad actors got my debit card numbers from a site or our computer and used it to buy things on websites. I removed the card from most sites and the computer. My debit card is controlled by my brother and I's male cousin who lives 50 miles from us and he wasn't happy when he saw the fraud charges on his end. I have a feeling bad actors might have installed keystroke software on our computer without us knowing. This year we got a bill in the mail for a $200 Ring doorbell, they used our home address as the billing address but used their address in Ohio as the mailing address. We live in eastern PA.

You asked this before and I responded. Yes, it's possible.
