Deleting synchronized files.

In the case of bidirectionally synchronized folders, deleting files within the folders must be handled accordingly otherwise the files you delete from a folder will reappear the next time you synchronize with its image folder.

To delete a file and synchronize its deletion:

Make sure this file is located in a synchronized folder.

Right click on the file to delete and choose WinSynchro from the pop-up menu that appears. You can select multiple files.

The following window is displayed:

Synchronization
of the deletion of a file with WinSynchro

Check the Delete this file box and synchronize the deletion.

Click on the Validate button.

If you have selected several files you must validate each of them independently.

Principle of operation:
The file is hidden and marked with a "tag". It therefore disappears from the folder display unless you have configured Windows Explorer to show hidden files.

At the next synchronization, the detection of the "tag" will trigger the complete deletion of the file in the 2 folders.

To go back:

In the event of an error as long as you have not launched the synchronization, you can go back:

To do this :

In the Windows explorer window validate the display of hidden files. The file should reappear with the tag. [Winsynchro_deletion_tag]. Right click on this file and choose Rename. Remove. [Winsynchro_deletion_tag] from the file name. Right click on this file and choose Properties. In the Attributes section, uncheck the Hidden box. Finally, deactivate the display of hidden files.

The file has not been modified, it is available and will not be deleted at the next synchronization.
