No, in fact if the files have NOT been deleted (using "git rm") then BFG
will exit with an appropriate error message.
Maybe you could reply with the command you ran and the output you saw?

Hi,
I want to use your tool to delete some data files that were committed by
mistake. I have already deleted them in the last commit but I need to
remove them from the history. Using your sample command didn't do anything,
I have the impression that the files must be present for the deletion to
work, is this the case?Thanks.

Thanks Todd, I finally was able to delete the files I wanted from the repository event though they were deleted from the HEAD. Fantastic tool, I was removed files, replaced code content and rebuilt each branch and no problemo!
Cheers

Thanks @kazoompa, really glad you like the tool - just to repeat @ToddBradley's clarification, having the dirty files deleted from HEAD before you run The BFG is good, and should not stop it from deleting the relevant files.
