Deleting item from Sync job doesn't delete it from disk

[K22R8CT 25]

In previous versions deleting an item from a Sync job would delete it from disk:

 

 

In 3.4.1.0 it doesn't.

 

I've run Cloud & Folder Sync, Scan Media Library and Convert Media manually with no effect.

How do you feel about this? I actually did this intentionally, for instance, you may want to stop the sync but keep the files. If we're going to stick with this then the confirmation message will obviously need adjustment. Thanks.

I just saw your reply.

 

I'd prefer it delete (which it does in the latest version) but I use Sync to maintain a library of pre-converted files due to CPU limitations, so it's not the standard use case.

Actually i think that's why many use the sync feature.

Yes, I feel the same way, just delete the list instead of deleting the source file directly. I want to delete it completely and delete it in the NAS.

Hi everyone!

 

Sorry for digging up older stuff, but I just came across here, because I have an Issue with sync jobs as well. I will open a new topic for that.

 

It would be lovely to have some option when deleting synced media from a device. Just asking for a friend, because he deleted alot of his favorite media when trying to fix sync problems by deleting the downloads and not realizing, that they would be physically deleted on the server source .............. 

 

Why not have it show some checkboxes?

 

Delete Element

Delete this element from

  X local storage

  O Media Library (EmbyServer)

      (x Keep backup?)

Cancel | Confirm

 

If completely deleting from Server - check again with the user:

 

Delete from Media Library (EmbyServer)

You choose to delete elements from your Media Library

  X Item list

  X items to delete

 

This is a destructive process. Do you really want to do this?

  O Yes

Cancel | Confirm

 

Thanks and Blessings!
