disk, you can re-import it later if you change your mind about the deletion. This can be a good safety net for
small projects, but on large projects, it's likely to clutter up the project folder with unnecessary files.
To rename a file, click once to select it in the Project Navigator and type in the new name. You also can enter
the name in the File pane of the Utility area. Figure 5.8 is a composite that shows both options. Renaming a file

File extensions are significant, but changing the extension isn't enough to change how Xcode processes the file
during a build. If you need to change the type of a file and modify how it contributes to a build, select a new type
from the list in the File Type drop-down menu in the File pane of the Utility area.
