Deletions Disabled

[Getorix]

Hi,

I have previously seen a solution for deletions of a folder using Exact Mirroring to an empty folder. I have set this up with all settings seeming to delete but the profile will not delete in unattended mode.

Is there any solution for this?

I am using the latest version of Syncover 6.32a

Cheers
Will

Hello,

you need to look into the log file. There can be various reasons. You can also send it to support@syncovery.com.

I realise there is the section where it will not delete all files in a folder, but I wish to do this. Is there any way around this? I'd rather not leave many backups building up on a machine.

Log File attached below.

Cheers

You can override the deletion limit by choosing 100% deletions and adding the following switch to the [Main]
section of the Ini file in order to enable 100% deletions:

UnattendedDeleteAllIsOK_IfDelPercIs100=YES

Thank you very much, worked a treat!

If you were here, I would buy you a cake.
