With the information you mention, I then have a dynamic master as I have added the Subprojects to my main project (the portfolio I was referring to).
But the actions to take are clear and I appreciate you taking the time!
I don't know where to find which version it is. This is what I found:
Thank you once again for your help!
Kind regards, Amanda

When looking at the steps to be taken I still have a problem. As I mentioned, the files have already been deleted so I cannot open it and use own resources.
Does the solution change if I do have a dynamic master (I think I do)?

The files I was referring to in step 2 are the active project files (i.e. those you are still using are are still connected to the pool). You obviously can't open files that were deleted but in order to get a clean pool file, I'm suggesting you re-build your structure. Before going through all the steps you should copy the whole structure as backup to a separate location, just in case.
It's possible you do have a dynamic master in addition to a pool/sharer structure. You can easily tell if you have a dynamic master by opening your "main" project and looking at the ID field. If all the IDs are continuous though the whole file, then you do NOT have a dynamic master, you just have a portfolio of files. However, if you see the ID sequence as independent for each subproject, then you DO have a dynamic master.
When I asked about version I didn't realize the confusion Microsoft introduces. Traditionally the "version" is the Project number (i.e. Project 2007, Project 2010, Project 2013, etc.). The "version" I was asking about is shown in the Account screen above the About Project. This is what mine looks like.
