  1. I did as you said in the Command Prompt. No "<junction>" listed anywhere. FolderA is was listed as "<DIR>". I used "del folderA", it deleted the folder, and then promptly re-appeared when I re-opened the parent folder. Edit: Just for further information, the only processes active in Task Manager (at least when I do not have "Show processes from all users" active) is basic windows, antivirus, video/display, and sound processes. I have nothing else running.
  2. Thanks for the reply. I am not sure how the situations you described are possible. To my knowledge, I am not actively using any other programs that "sync." I never enable cloud or automatic backup options as I prefer to routinely manually backup important files, exactly because I have had bad experiences with programs that automatically do things like that. I created the folder strictly to try out BTSync and used it for nothing else since then. It instantly re-appears as soon as I close and refresh, even if I am unplugged from the internet. I never used BTSync on any other accounts or devices, I simply installed it on my PC and tried running it on my PC. Furthermore, when I originally uninstalled BTSync, I did it as you described, including checking that checkbox to remove everything. When that did not stop the folder from re-appearing, I restarted. After restarting and the folder still kept re-appearing, I checked for any location remaining BTSync files/folders could be at and deleted any remaining folders (including the one you mentioned). I then went into the Registry Editor and searched for all remaining registry entries that references "BTSync" or the folder that I am trying to delete, and erased those as well. The folder is still re-appearing.
  3. This ongoing (looked back in history on google) reappearing-files/folders bug is ridiculous. I understand that there is supposedly a "fixed" version on the way (it took over 1.5years for this serious bug?), but until then, how do I completely erase every trace of BtSync from my PC? All I did was install it and test it out. It was failing right from the beginning...it was creating an infinite loop file structure where it would fill up the designated folder with 0 byte files then repeat itself within the folder (folderA/folderA/folderA/folderA/folderA) using up all my PC's power until I finally had to terminate the process after I realized what it was doing. I recently tried to delete the folder, multiple times, but it kept reappearing. Manually disabled the read-only attribute to all folders and sub-folders/files, deleted, came back. Uninstalled BTSync, removed read-only attribute to folder and all sub-folder/files, deleted, it comes back. I cannot remove this folder no matter what I try. How do i shut this thing down permanently when even uninstalling does nothing? Yes, I have restarted the computer since uninstalling.
