Clean-up .sync folder

[firminmaillard]

Hi,

I would like to do a good clean-up of the .sync folder on a small machine with a very little drive.

The .sync folder there is at the moment occupying 760Mb, which is a lot...

Which files can I safely erase, and which ones absolutely need to stay where they are? (I'm using the Linux x64 version of Sync 2.4.5).

Thanks for your help,

Francesco

files in Archive - these are old versions of your files. If you're sure that there are no important or mistakenly deleted files in Archive, you can clear it.

or with .sync you mean the storage - the folder where sync keeps settings? You can delete *.log and *.journals and their zip archives

Thanks Helen: I've deleted all the *.log and the *.journal and the *.zip files, and now the .sync folder is 330Mb; better than before, but still quite big...

Of course the Archive folder is empty, I'm not keeping old files on this small machine.

@firminmaillardHold on: what .sync folder are you talking about? The .sync folder in a share folder or the .sync folder for your configuration files, databases ,log files etc?

I wouldn't delete the databases if I were you ^^ log files and journal files you can delete. In fact you can turn that off in the settings.

It's the .sync folder for the configuration files: after having deleted all those zip, log and journal files, whats's left (the databases?) still occupies 330Mb. If it's normal I'll keep that, never mind, but on a 32Gb disk that is not negligible.

Thanks again,

Francesco

Yes you need those databses + the rest. Definitely don't delete those files.
