Some sync logic issue

I deleted a database in DT and also cleaned the sync location, so that the remote content was deleted too.

But then, I opened DTTG … and the database was of course still there.
I wanted to delete it too, but then I noticed that DTTG was uploading the database to the remote location again!

For my understanding, DTTG should have noticed that the remove sync location was cleaned - I mean, the folder was deleted and the synchronization process should have been disabled.

And I have 3 iPads with DTTG.

As it seems, I would have needed to disable the sync location on all iPads before I cleaned it.
But then, it could be possible that iPads are at different locations and then this procedure could not work.

Any recommendation about how to handle this?

That is incorrect. Each device is operating independently – something you should keep in mind.

Yes, that would be the correct procedure.
