Hi -

I'm running Vista Ultimate and wish to remove a sync partnership with
a network share. When I open up the Sync Center and click the
partnership, there isn't a delete option. Any idea how I can remove
this? Please, it's driving me crazy.

If I'm understanding correctly, try this...

In Windows Explorer or "Computer" select Explore and right click on mapped
network drive and select "disconnect".
That should delete your sync partnership I believe. I hope I understood
your problem correctly.
 
Disconnecting does not do anything.... once you reconnect the drive it shows
all the syncs again.... this is such a pain in the ass, and nearly crashed
my hard drive

I have the same problem. Since the original post, maybe someone has
found a solution

thanks
 
Navigate via the Network to the network folder, right-click on it and
uncheck "Always Available Offline".

Thanks for your answer but it didn't work.

I still can see the task in the Synchronization Center and the damn
icon is always in the tray without any way to remove it.
 
I was also looking for an answer to this problem.

I think I have the answer.

It appears you can not remove a sync partnership until you have
resolved all discrepencies.

If you select each descrepency and resolve it by either deleting the
local or remote copy you can then select the share and delselect the
sync option.

Hope this helps.

I tried Sync Center once, then tried to remove with no luck. After no
reply from MS support (no surprise), I poked around and found a way to
disable.

In control panels, select Offline Files. Here you are able to delete
and clean up temporary local files and disable the offline files
feature. After a restart, there are no "partnerships" and no systray
application running.

Hope this helps! Thank you Microsoft! :-(

It appears that you can not delete your partnership ever if you can not
reconect to the orginial partner.

So if you partnered with someone with a laptop and they never return, the
partnership will stay on your computer forever or until MS comes out with a
fix.
This is my first time on this site, Does anyone from Microsoft look at these
posts?
 
I followed the suggestion by jotr25 to remove the sync folder from
c:\windows\CSC\v2.0.6\namespace but the offline folder still appears in the
sync center.

Any other suggestions?
 
Following jotr25 post related to CSC folder, I could see that this is where
the offline content is stored. However, I thought there has to be an easier
way.

This worked for me:
1 - Control Panal -> Offline Files -> "Disable Offline Files"
2 - Click the "View your offline files." (rather than opening CSC folder
mentioned above.)
3 - Delete folders you no longer sync
4 - Go back to the Offline Files window and click OK
5 - Restart computer
6 - Control Panal -> Offline Files -> "Enable Offline Files"

I will post again if I find a shorter method.
