Hello,

Im going through the Problems view and trying to solve issues. I solved a simpler one by undefining (pressed U) and redefining (pressed C) binary as code. But the problems view doesnt update after reanalyzing the program.

 ![Problem](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rays_hex/original/1X/089f099c9d5a57ce859857b97049dd760ff13024.png)

Here is the hex at that particular instruction.

I think Problems view cached the error and just never invalidates itself.

You can delete resolved items from the list.

Hi,

Isn’t that more of a meme solution? If i delete it manually, can i still restore it somehow? I havent found any deleted problems view. I think the problem is on my end but you probbably guessed already that im a little confused. Let me ask some more questions i think i almost got it.

Can i solve all the problems or there will always be some false positives? Is this problem a false positive? If i think i solved the problem can i do a reanalysis or it will mess things up?

My approach now is to try changes run reanalysis and see if the problem went away.

 ![Problem3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rays_hex/original/1X/10676e7c07b8431b9c2151b68890680963a81183.png)

I noticed for the same address two problem is reported. And it was right there was really a string treated as a location into that address but i pressed U to undefine it then made it into a proper string, but after doing a reanalyze still nothing.

if the problem reoccurs, it will be re-added to the list. If it’s not re-added after reanalysis, it means the issue is no longer present.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to say why you have two entries without your binary and the exact actions.
