I’ve been trying to keep my music folder in my computer synced with the folder at my android phone. Problem is that syncthing made my music folder 60gb, filling my 128gb sd card up, while the music folder i’m trying to sync is about 29gb.
When i use a file manager to check the folder, it says it is 60gb, but when i go into it and select all folders inside, it says 29gb.
I’m using the syncthing fork app in android.
Hi,
This might be due to file versioning being default-on. So if you delete a file, it gets moved to the .stversions “trashbin” folder. In recent releases , you’ll find a button in Settings > Syncthing to clear up .stversions folders easily if you don’t have a file manager app installed to do this yourself. It serves as a safety belt for newby users who for whatever reasons don’t know that deletions are synced as well or make a mistake like hitting “override changes” ending up with an empty folder. They can then be guided to use a file manager app and recover their data from there. If time passes, the folder is also auto-cleaned.
It seems so. It is enabled by default and i didn’t know it. I disabled it and deleted the files using the file manager.
