carloxp Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Good morning my setting for folder_defaults.delete_to_trash is True (Resilio Sync default). But deleted items (files or folders) are sent to .sync/Archive rather than to $Recycle.Bin (Windows). It seem working at the opposite of what it say... Please, what is the correct usage of folder_defaults.delete_to_trash? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 folder_defaults.delete_to_trash means that files on this peer will be moved to Archive; if a file is deleted on a remote peer, this peer will put the file to Archive. Sync never deletes files to Recycle Bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carloxp Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Helen, thank you for the reply, But what happen if folder_defaults.delete_to_trash is set to True ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 it means that files will be moved to Archive: Archive will be enabled by default for all folders that you add to Sync, unless you manually disable it. folder_defaults.delete_to_trash is set to False means that files will not be moved to archive: Archive will be disabled by default for all folders that you add to Sync, unless you manually enable it.

carloxp Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Helen so, if folder_defaults.delete_to_trash is set to False then files are moved to $Recycle.Bin ? And... switching folder_defaults.delete_to_trash on/off is valid for existing folders too? Or just for newly added folders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 4 hours ago, carloxp said: then files are moved to $Recycle.Bin ? no, Sync never deletes files to Recycle Bin. If Archive is disabled in your Sync, and remote peer deletes files, files are just wiped out from your device skipping Archive and skipping recycle bin. 4 hours ago, carloxp said: folder_defaults.delete_to_trash on/off is valid for existing folders too? for new ones. You need to manually turn it off/on for existing ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
