Offlines Files and Mapped Drives

I'm searching for a way to disable the automatic sync partnership established when setting a mapped drive through a GPO.

My goal is to disable all sync partnerships used with offline files between folder redirection and mapped drives. Folder redirection is easy with a single GPO setting, however, I have not been able to find anything on disabling the automatic sync partnership established by mapping a drive.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried right-click the sync partnership that you want to end, and then click Delete?

When I right-click the partnership, there is no delete option. I use open to view the folders, and do not have a option to delete it their either. (I also have some old ones present for a server that no longer exist), but alas, no delete option on those either.

Also, the "stop sync with" option is greyed out and unclickable. That option still does not help me do it for the entire company, in which going to each computer and doing that really isn't an option. There has to be a way to disable these through some GPO setting, reg setting, or something.
