Cannot Remove Deleted Shares from the Synchronization Manager

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

SYMPTOMS

If you use the Synchronization Manager to schedule a file or folder for synchronization, and that file or folder is then deleted from the server, the file or folder may still be displayed in the Synchronization Manager on the client computer.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the files or folders are cached on the client computer, and they are not automatically removed when a shared file or folder is deleted from a server.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, remove the deleted file or folder from the Offline Files Folder on the client computer:

1. Double-click My Computer, click Folder Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Offline Files tab.



2. Click View Files, click the name of the file or folder you want to delete, click Edit, and then click Delete.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
