OrgMode Agenda empty if one of files is missing from the org-agenda-files

Hi ,
This is a repost, the first i sent this to the mailing list i
wasnt subscribed so it is pending review, but it's been almost a week, so i
sending this again after i subscribed

If a file added on my agenda list is deleted, Org Mode Agenda list comes
back empty

For example, my org agenda has two files
 '(org-agenda-files
   '("c:/dev/projects/one/one.org"  "c:/dev/projects/two/two.org"  ))

Now I deleted folder two , so the folder  c:/dev/projects/two/ and its
content is also deleted

Now when I try C-ca and select any of the option to list my scheduled todos
I get an empty *Org Agenda* buffer

Removing the deleted folder from my org-agenda-files, fixes the issue

I think the Agenda buffer should still show me the todo items from the
available files, and maybe just warn me about the delete file, or at least
show nothing, but warn me about the issue

Thanks
Ali

This is not what I am seeing on my side.
For me, agenda displays a message:

Non-existent agenda file /tmp/two/two.org.  [R]emove from list or [A]bort?

If I press "r", the agenda is displayed with the existing file.
If I press "a", agenda generation is aborted.

I suspect that you accidentally pressed "a" extra time, which happened
to trigger "[A]bort".

You are right

I tried again, and this time, i checked the echo/mini buffer area, and it
had the options you mentioned above
my bad

My agenda windows open on the side, not the bottom (not sure why), so i
guess this why i didnt notice the warning in the echo area before
also a bit unfortunate that a is for abort because i might have kept
pressing a when i first got a blank windows (also a being the first option
for agenda, and the thing you will most likely try as a new user)

Anyway, thanks
