How can I clean download queue on my PC? To avoid that message.

Removing the device from the config should suffice, if it does not exist any more.

Thank you so much, it helped.

And there is a similar question. I have 4 devices and in this case we can say that 1 of them is source and 3 of them are receivers. All devices can see each other. So we have this:

  1. Source is up to date
  2. Receiver 1 is up to date
  3. Receivers 2 and 3 want 0B size file from source 1. The showing to me “Out of Sync Items [1 items, ~0 B]”

When that file calendar_backup_2025-05-04_20-46-41.tar.gz.gpg was on Source’s disk, it was not empty. Like 2-3Mbytes but error was the same. I tried to delete this file from the source1 and rescan my folder but it didn’t help. How can I fix that issue?

Thanks in advance.

Brute force options:

  • Does that file exist on any of your systems? If so, rename it and see if it correctly syncs then. Then rename it back once everyone is happy;
  • If the file does not exist, create a new file with exactly the same file path. Let it sync to the other systems, then delete it again.

Hope that helps!
