2disbetter Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 As the subject says, I'm curious if there is a way to remove devices from the device list? Do I need to edit a text file, or is there a way through the UI? 2d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 If you have a device that you want to remove from your "My Devices" list you have to do it on the device itself.You cannot remove a device from that list if you're not doing it on the exact machine - as of right now that's how you do it. Open BitTorrent Sync - Options - My Devices - Click on THIS device that you're currently working on - Click unlink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2disbetter Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Impossible, as the device I'm trying to remove was an intense of Sync on a NAS that was overwritten. Every time I installed a newer version it forced me to reconfigure everything and in turn registered another device of the same name. So I currently have 3 of these devices listed. Kind of annoying and I hope a feature is given to just remove a device from any client in the future. Is there no work around? A file that can edited somewhere? 2d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 @2disbetterUnfortunately no workaround for this issue. As Sync stores its data in binary format, you can't edit it with text editor as it is going to ruin binary data.We know about this issue and plan to address it to future releases. Also note, that Sync automatically cleans up old devices after around 30 days being offline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2disbetter Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks once again Roman. The 30 day window should get rid of the duplicates in due course. Glad to hear a mechanism is being introduced to force deletion of devices earlier. 2d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldrin Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Also note, that Sync automatically cleans up old devices after around 30 days being offline.This doesn't appear to be true. A duplicate device that was created when I reinstalled on the same machine is still visible in 'My Devices'. And I'm pretty sure it's been more than 30 days.

Moe Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I can also verify that. One installation on one of my VPSs is still showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Anything on this? Other than recreating and re-applying the license again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
