Cannot disable offline files

I accidentally made a HUGE folder on my 'Always available offline' network shares and I want to turn it off. However, clicking the option to uncheck the menu click right does not work! Don't enter the folder properties and unchecking the same box. I have other files that I DON'T want to keep available offline. Is it possible to force Windows to stop making this file available offline?

Hello

Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft community! I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

This computer is on a domain network?

I suggest to refer to this article and perform the steps mentioned.

On a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 client computer, you can still access offline files even if the file server is removed from the network

  • Cannot synchronize offline files

    I created a link to a shared NAS drive.  I then made the folders and files always available, so I could map a network drive in the folder.

    I then moved the data from the shared folder on another drive and I can't sync my files.  So, I have a bunch of 'offline' files modified that I need to synchronize, but can't.

    I moved the folder to its original location and I tried to sync, but the sync never starts.

    Is that what I can do to restore the offline sync to a new location or get somehow the files offline to which they belong?

    Thank you!

    You don't have to make the files available offline to map a network drive letter.  Just make it available offline if you want to include in a library.

    But in any case, I would go in Sync Center in sync failures and remove them all (all errors) and then configure the new offline folder by right-clicking and choosing 'always available offline '.

  • Fix offline files: cannot display the partnerships

    I redirected files offline on a different partition.  That has worked well for several months.  Something appears to be damaged. I can't look at partnerships.   When I try to sync, the process fails.  If I disable offline files, it says I have to restart to complete the process.  When I reboot, I get a blue screen on startup.  If I try the auto repair, which fails and indicates a required device is not available.  I recovered from a current backup.  I need to know what to do to just destroy all the stuff of offline file so I can restore it.  I am a tech computer and comfortable editing the registry.  BTW, I am running Vista Ultimate 32 - bit with all updates applied.

    Hello

    ·        You get an error message when the synchronization process fails?

    ·        What was the Blue error screen that you got you to restart the computer to complete the deactivation process?

    You can try to remove the sync partnership and add it back.  Who can get things working again.  See the following link on how to put an end to partnerships, then in the section above, how to create them.

  • In Windows 7 offline files will not activate

    I have a very frustrating issue with one of our laptops, for which I can't find a solution anywhere:
    This is a brand new laptop, and the last thing I want to do it after construction, it is to offer the user's network share offline.  I did it before on several other Windows 7 machines on our network with no problems.
    However, when I try to activate offline files (from Sync Center, manage offline files), I get the message "offline files is enabled, but not yet active."  Rstart this computer to activate offline files. "I rebooted several times, but the same message every time.
    I tried to disable, restart then the reactivation and reboot.  Same result.
    I tried to look at the GPO settings to check that it doesn't stop there, what is not.
    I've changed a registry key that forces a rebuild of database synchronization.  No change.
    Someone at - it clues about where to look next?

    Had already read these documents, but they do not address the issue, I had.  However, I found this answer worked:

    1. disable Offline Files (Panel\All Control Panel Items\Sync control center), click on 'manage offline files' then click on disable.
    2. restart the computer
    3. delete the folder (C:/Windows/CSC) CSC.  NOTE: you may need to change the permissions on the folder of the CCS to do this, and once this is done, you must delete all the folders in the first CSC folder (beginning with the farthest in and work your way), because the system, you cannot delete a folder that still has nothing on the inside.  Once you have all the files in the CSC folder deleted, delete the folder CSC itself.
    4 enable offline files.
    5 restart the computer.  The CSC folder - with its parameters by default, etc., will be rebuilt now and when right click on a network folder, the 'always available offline' option should appear.

  • Cannot access shared files whne connected to the server

    Original title: dfs namespace access

    We have customers from windows 7 on windows 2008r2 domain. We have a couple of file hosting a dfs servers space names with file shares.

    This server hosts a common \\namespace\fileshare that is still available however 2 other \\namespace\share1 & 2 return cannot access this share when you are not connected to the server. This does not affect any clients, but affects enough that it becomes big problem being the only customer resolution of reconstruction. I tried adding and removing updates. I am at a loss what to try next.

    Any suggestion would be great.

    Thanks Mick

    I found the solution myself after a lot of googling and journal of trace events.

    After you configure wsus, it appeared that our Windows 7 clients suddenly received file sync (small green icon in the taskbar) couple this with an intermittent slow wan link. The fix was all right before you disable offline files. We never wanted their first place very frustrating, but we're still learning.

    It doesn't seem to affect all clients which is what got us thrown away but hey its works now.

    Thanks Mick

    Ok..  I connected on the one hand and selected 'make available offline '.  now, the server and share no longer exist and the sync partnership is still there and I can't seem to remove and delete the files.

    How can I get rid of this thing?

    Hello Roman stone.

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    It seems that you can not delete a sync partnership until you have resolved all the differences.

    If you select each gap and fix it is remove the copy local or remote, you can
    Select share, then uncheck the sync option.

    Please, try the following steps:

    1 - Panel-> offline files-> "disable offline files."

    2 - Click on "view your offline files.

    3 remove the folders, and you no longer want to synchronize of mapped drives. If the mapped drives are not removed,
    Then go into Windows Explorer or 'Computer' select Explorer and right-click on the mapped network drive and
    Select "disconnect".

    4 - go back to the offline files window, and then click OK

    5 - restart the computer

    6 - Panel of-> offline files-> 'enable offline files '.

    Please let me know if these measures have helped to solve your problem or if you need further assistance.

  • Cannot open 'manage offline files '.

    I'm creating on Windows 7 Home Premium offline files.
    When I press on "set up new sync partnerships, says"there are no new sync partnerships that can be installed on this computer", when I press 'Manage offline files', via aid or through the Sync Center, nothing happens, it will not be open...".
    I was working with offline files before without problem on several versions of windows 7 beta.

    any ideas?

    I'm sorry, but Windows 7 Home Premium isn't the offline files feature.    This requires Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition.  There was the beta version of Windows 7 ultimate. Steve Winograd, most Microsoft Valuable Professional (desktop experience)

  • Do not Sycnhronize on a XP offline files

    Hi everyone, sorry for this old topic... but hope you can help... Yes, I'm still working on an XP machine.

    For some reason, I need to redo our GPO and tried to re-create a GPO so that the laptop can synchronize offline files with 'My Documents' for a mobile specific and the user. Before this new GPO, the user was able to sync the same folder without any problem. Wick for a reason that I removed and remove the old GPO. So now I need to reset upward.
    Now when I tried to connect the laptop to the network, I have only seen the sync happens only once, and synchronization also came with "Access Denied" errors after a few hours... and the synchronization has failed of course. When I disconnect the laptop computer, the My Documents folder is always empty (with all subfolders, but there is no content!)
    I know that the user cannot manipulate the features offline synchronization... and here are the GPO settings, that I set:
    -Models of administration - computer network/Offline Files configuration
    -Action on server disconnect - enabled, Action is "work offline".
    -Allow or prohibit the use of offline - enabled features
    -Encrypt the Cache of offline - enabled files
    -Prevent the use of the offline files folder - activated
    -Ban the user files offline - enabled configuration
    -Remove "make available offline" - enabled
    Sub-always available offline - enabled folders
    -Synchronize all offline files before you end the session - enabled
    -Synchronize all offline files when logging on - active
    -Synchronize offline files before suspension - enabled, the type of Action, COMPLETE
         System/user profiles
    -Copies of delete cached roaming profiles - disabled
    N ' allow only local user profiles - activated
    -Prevent roaming profile changes from spreading to the sever - active
    Configurations of users - Windows Settings - folder redirection-
    I did the path for the user who is the path: \\fileserver\User$\%Useranme%\My Documents. And the user has read to the ' user or users $' root folder.
    -Administrative Templates - files network/off line
    -Action on server disconnect - enabled, Action is "work offline".
    -Administratively assigned offline files - activated
    -Files and folders, Documents \\fileserver\User$\%Useranme%\My
    -Prevent the use of the offline files folder - activated
    -Ban the user files offline - enabled configuration
    -Synchronize all offline files before you end the session - enabled
    -Synchronize all offline files when logging on - active
    -Synchronize offline files before suspension - enabled, the type of Action, COMPLETE
    -Disable the balloon reminder - disabled
    -Do not automatically make redirected folders available offline - disabled.
    May I ask how to do the sync properly? And also... How initial sync (again once, the user doesn't have the right to manipulate sync settings?
    Any ideas would be great! Thank you very much for your help

  • Folder redirection with offline files folder

    I have the documents users and Favorites redirected using folder redirection GPO records. So, everyone has their data redirected to the server. With the always available offline function. Then my raid that crashed and this player become offline. after 24 hours everyone back their local copy of their records.

    Now, why was it around that time. The server used to host the files fell to 2-3 hours. Later, I had the server upward without the Raid.

    Also 2 users reported that they can see their files, but its greyed out with an x and cannot access it. Discovered they still had available disabled offline. Don't know how that happened.

  • "Extraction failure: cannot open output file" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I am trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 printer.  I downloaded the complete drivers of features for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:

    Extraction failed

    Cannot open output file

    And the process ends.  He arrived at about 85% extraction every time.

    No idea why?  I called HP, but no longer under warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - not even give me basic support?  Poor, poor customer service.

    Hi GIJeff12,

    Temporarily disable any AntiVirus/Antispyware software.

    Cut the installer on your desktop then click on the Start Menu, click computer, double-click on the C: drive and paste the installler here.  Now try a right click on the installer for your printer, choose 7-Zip and choose Extract the files, and then click Ok.  If the installation program extracts now correctly, follow these steps.  If it does not extract, let me know.

    Disconnect your printer from the PC.  Restart your PC.

    Open the newly extracted folder and double-click the setup application to start the installation (the installation application will probably have the same icon as the original installation software that you downloaded).  Connect the printer to your computer when you are asked.

    If it was a success, re - enable your security software.

  • Satellite A50-532: synchronization /-offline files

    Hello

    I am using a Satellite A50-532 and I want to make the files available locally / offline that are stored on a server. I used to use the XP build-in functionality of offline files with my old laptop which worked without any problems. Unfortunately what it does not work with the Toshiba that I can't see the data on the server in the tree in the window "synchronization". "." Right click on the "Make available offline" menu is not offered by XP. I have already disabled the "fast user switching" as suggested by MS. Firewall and network problems may also be excluded.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance,

    You have configured your Toshiba laptop to use offline files?

    If this isn't the case, you can set it up on this path:

    Click Start and then click my computer.
    On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
