Briefcase Out of Sync

I have this My Briefcase that points to a location on a shared drive.
Shortly after it was created, the network drive location was changed.
It used to point to \\drive\share and now it points to \\drive
\something-else.

Some files that were in there from before the switch are now
orphaned. If I try to sync the Briefcase it warns me that the sync
copy is not available. I tried deleting the Briefcase copies and they
went away successfully. They don't show in My Briefcase anymore. But
updating still gives me that error! It says "\\drive\share
\file_name.doc does not exist".

What's going on here? How can I tell it to just forget all about
those files?

Specifically, on updating I get:

[ 'Data' has a sync copy that is inaccessible. This folder will not be
updated until the sync copy is accessible from this computer. ]

Click OK and it shows the specific individual files, even though those
files were deleted from the Briefcase.
