Cubase Pro 11 losing audio files

Cubase

On opening a project I’m working on atm, cubase starts up with a message something like (I forget the precise words) “These audio files are missing, please locate:” and a locate button plus a cancel…
Locate opens an explorer window.
The first time this happened 2 files were missing, neither of them was visible in the explorer window, and I was too impatient to search much further, it seemed simpler to re-record.
Today I opened the same project, to find the same message; only one file this time, and it was visible and available in the explorer window, so I opened it and the project started ok and played as expected.
Does anyone here have any idea what’s going on?

PS Forgot to mention, all other audio files were present and played correctly.

I was away from this project for a couple of days, when I came back to it, cubase said the same file as above was missing, though it was easy to locate with the locate file button and played correctly again, so a nuisance rather than a disaster…even so, a bit of a pain, any ideas out there?

Solved by simply deleting offending file from pool…dunno why we didn’t think of it sooner…or why cubase couldn’t see it. Anyway, didn’t need it, gone now, problem solved,
