Offline Sync files from server

[Adam Raff]

Good Day,

I was sync files from one of our data servers (Windows 2003 SP1) to a laptop
(Windows XP SP2)

She needed more space on her hard drive so we elected to stop the sync so I
went into the setting and disabled the sync. I did not get much space back
from this and I checked the files size in the database and they were very
small, hardly took up any space. Am I missing something here? Do I need to
do anything thing else to clean up the sync to really free up that space
again.

Thanks in Advance
Adam Raff

Hello,

Based on your description, I understand that you want to set the disk space
on the client machine that was used by the offline files free. If I have
any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

To reset offline files and database, you can perform the following steps:

Suggestion 1
----------------
1. In Folder Options , on the Offline Files tab, press CTRL+SHIFT, and
then click Delete Files . The following message appears:

The Offline Files cache on the local computer will be re-initialized. Any
changes that have not been synchronized with computers on the network will
be lost. Any files or folders made available offline will no longer be
available offline. A computer restart is required.

Do you wish to re-initialize the cache?

2. Click Yes two times to restart the computer.

Suggestion 2
----------------
If this problem continues, you can perform the following steps to delete
offline files manually:

1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options .
3. Click Hide protected operating system files .
4. Disable View , which is enabled by default.
5. Simply delete the %SystemRoot%\CSC folder and restart the computer.
After the system is back online, the CSC folder structure is rebuilt.

If the system partition is full and the customer has other drives, you may
refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article to move the Windows
default page and spool files to another drive:

I hope that the above information can be of assistance.
