Deleted Databases still shown as "remote" in Sync

DEVONthink Tips
1

Using latest DEVONthink 2.9.1 with DropBox as sync service.

In experimenting about how DEVONthink To Go works with “deleted” databases (see thread in that forum), I have a few databases that were set to sync (to test behaviour) and were deleted on all devices. They exist on no machine (iPad, iPhone, and 2 desktops) as open databases, nor files in the files system. Yet they still show up in the “Preferences/Sync” on Desktop, and in Locations in iPad/iPhone. I did the “refresh”.

How to remove them from the Sync list ?

Again, deleting a database does NOT delete them from Sync Locations (see my reply on your thread). The Sync Data is still on your Dropbox account.

In DEVONthink’s Preferences > Sync, right-click the Sync location and choose Clean Location to remove unwanted Sync Data. If you only want to remove a specific database from a location, right-click the database in the righthand pane and choose Clean Database.

thanks… I didn’t look past “Clean” menu option which didn’t occur to me meant “delete”. All well. thanks.
