# Force-restore a local Project

If you encounter errors with the [Domino CLI](/6.3/reference/cli/cli-reference), it might be due to a problem with your local project metadata. This can happen if a file is modified by another program during the sync and [file locking](/6.3/help/troubleshoot/work-with-many-files) is turned off. You might be able to resolve this issue by performing a force-restore. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to your local copy and remove the Domino project information.

   ```shell theme={null}
   cd <project folder>
   rm -rf .domino
   ```

2. To restore the Domino project information, run the following command and then enter the project name.

   ```shell theme={null}
   domino restore
   ```

This downloads files on the server that are not in your local project. Delete them if you do not need them. If any of your local files are different from the server version, the local version will be pushed the next time you run `domino sync`.
