iaw4 Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I have the following odd situation: # du -h -d1 bitsync 160G bitsync/.sync ... various 194G bitsync can I remove the .sync directory? or the archive subdirectory in .sync? if I remove it on one machine, will it remove on the others? (I think I need to figure out a way to store the history of files elsewhere. I was also looking at a GUI way to turn on/off archiving; is it in advanced?) is there some general advice on how to handle archiving (e.g., and trim/remove/move files after x days automatically)? /iaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaw4 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 on examination, the Archive is fairly small. most of the space is consumed by .!sync files. what are they, and can they be removed or trimmed? Update: Deleting them and restarting resilio seems to just rebuild them. I am now back over 60GB already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 JFYI, Archive is not syncing with others and you can clear files inside it after you make sure that there are no any important copies of your files. This deletion is not propagated to other peers' Archives. those .!sync files - are the files that are being synced right now. If there seem to be no progress on them, better stop Sync and submit debug logs to support for analysis. Apparently, some files got stuck.
