mikehawkes Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi - when I delete files, I now see the file reappear with a "btsi" extension. How do I stop these appearing please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remirus Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 mikehawkes, it happens when Selective Sync is activated so you will be able to download files from other devices. If your peer has read-write permissions then you can delete placeholders (bts files) and real files will be deleted from other peers. If your peer has read-only permissions you cannot remove placeholders and it is by design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehawkes Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 But I have changed nothing in my settings - I'm getting loads of btsa and btsi on every system. Do I have to manually go to each system and delete these files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remirus Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 mikehawkes, what peer permissions do you have on each peer? If you have read-only permissions you won't bee able to delete placeholder files. If you have read-write permissions then placeholders will be removed on all peers when you delete them on one peer or if you right-click on them and choose "Remove from all devices".
