Offline File Sync
On a SBS 2008 domain, Documents, Desktop and Application Data folders are redirected to the server. One user started getting synchronizations errors. The problem is that the file names and location listed in the Synchronization Results report do not seem to exist when looking either on the users computer or in the redirected folder location on the server. And it's a weird location: "\\ServerName\RedirectedFo
How do I clean this up so Synchronization stops looking for files in this location?

You are familiar with the synchronization process, and how at the end if it 100% successful the window closes. However if there are any files that were not able to be synced it displays a report of the results listing the files and their locations that failed to sync. So there is no specific error message other than it shows this report with the details I listed above.
I've dealt with sync errors many times in the past. What has me stumped here is the location of the files failing. Even with Explorer set to Show Hidden Files and Show Windows Protected OS Files, there is no such location as UserName\Desktop\|||uments
In the Offline Files Synchronization dialogue, I tried deleting all the locally cached temp files but that didn't help. I hesitated to try the next option to delete all of the local files as I wasn't sure what the result would be. We don't want to lose the files.
Thanks for the help.
