After updating Synctrayzor to the newest verison acros all devices, things finally started syncing up. Now i have 10137 conflicts and it locks the program up when i try to view each one.

Whats the best way to handle this? Is starting over on all machines going to be a good idea? IE, remove remote devises and folders then re-add them to re-sync overnight?

or is there a better way to handle this

thanks

The number of files is probably too much for the built-in SyncTrayzor’s conflict resolver 😅.

I don’t think starting from scratch will help, because the conflict files are already present on the disk on all devices (assuming that they’re already synced, and not limited to a single devices within a Receive Only folder).

If you’re sure that you want to delete the conflicted copies, you could simply search for all `*.sync-conflict-*` files and detele them in bulk (e.g. using Windows Explorer, or the command line if you know what you’re doing).

excellent. I was hoping they had a searchable file name so i could do that. I want to keep the original files, not the conflicts becasue the ones i have seen, are just duplicates of the original somehow

something interesting. I did the search in win explorer and it finds the file names, however, when i right click and go to location OR try and delete, the file does not exist in the location or to delete according to windows messages.

Can you open the command line (`cmd.exe`) and run `dir /s D:\*.sync-conflict-*`? This should list all conflict files with their full path.

You could also use `del /q /s D:\*.sync-conflict-*` to delete all of them at once, but please make sure to have backups before experimenting with real data like that (especially if you’re not used to using the command line).
