When you delete files from your Offline Files folder, the network versions of the files are not deleted. You can choose to delete only your temporary offline files or all of your offline files.<br />

My understanding was that when you delete an offline files/folder, it will sync with the network drive when you are online and delete the network file/folder as well and keep the offline and online file/folder synced. <br />
<br />
So what you are saying is only online files are synced to have access to offline. But offline files cannot be modified/deleted and later synced with online files. In other words, offline files cannot overwrite online files?

I have one of my network drive configured to sync to have offline access. It is set to sync at logon and logoff both. One problem is that I can't seem to be able to delete folders when I am offline. <br />
<br />
&quot;This operation is supported only when you are connected to the server&quot;<br />
<br />
Is this the way windows XP is built? Is there a work around? Thank you.

Deleting Offline Folders

I have one of my network drive configured to sync to have offline access. It is set to sync at logon and logoff both. One problem is that I can&#39;t seem to be able to delete folders when I am offline.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
