sdafgsdfg Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi, I use one-way Sync as a way of quickly getting files from my computer onto my iPad - ebooks, pdfs etc. The problem is that some of the sync folders have hundreds of subfolders (authors etc) so when im finished reading them, it's very laborious to manually locate and delete each file that is stored locally on the iPad. The 'show synced' function doesn't really help much because I still have to nagivate into tonnes of folders to locate the ones that are stored locally. Is there a way to simply delete all locally stored files with one button? Without deleting the actual Sync partnerships obviously. I swear I remember this feature existing but today I can't for the life of me find it or remember how to do it. Am I going nuts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanZ Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 @sdafgsdfg Try opening the folder, pushing dots menu, "Select", then tap checkbox button in upper right corner to select all, then tap "Clean". Is it something you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankStrahan Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 RomanZ, I've tried doing that but I have so many folders, it would take an unrealistic amount of time to go through them all. Also, in my situation, Sync continues to consume every available kb of storage on my 8gb iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2 and Sync 1.4.60. I haven't yet found any of the files that are filling up the space. I also do not have any of the Auto Sync switches turned on so I don't understand why files are downloading.As soon as I access Sync on my phone, it starts downloading files and I'm watching the transfer speeds displaying at the bottom of the screen. Currently, Usage for BTSync is displaying 1.1gb of space used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 @FrankStrahan Issue confirmed with inability to delete all local files at once. We'll take care of it in next major release. As for the second issue (something that takes 1Gb of storage) - could you please send a feedback from your iPhone with attachment of debug information? Please refer this forum topic in message body. We'll try to understand what exactly takes such amount of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankStrahan Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 How do I activate debug on the phone? I see the option on the desktop version but nothing on the phone. Then, how do I attach the debug information to the feedback? I don't see a place within the Feedback section on the phone for adding attachments?

RomanZ Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 You just send feedback from settings, when you done typing feedback text and tap e-mail button - it will ask if you want to include debug logs. They are always on on iOS, so no need to turn them on manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankStrahan Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 The problem seems to have gone away. I disconnected the offending drive from the iPhone and reconnected it. It's been fine ever since.Thanks for the help. I'll keep the instructions in mind if I need them in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
