Two accounts synch on same data

stratopoulos
I created an account for my daughter and I was showing her how to use it. When I was setting her synch preferences I must have selected the wrong setting and now her account synchs and shows all my files. Any suggestions on how to fix it without deleting my files?
Thanks

    This is assuming she's using a separate computer or at least a separate system user account.

    Turn off auto-sync in the Zotero sync preferences.
    input her sync information in the sync preferences.
    Restart Firefox/Zotero (not strictly necessary, but let's be safe here).
    Double check that her sync info is still in the sync preferences.
    Delete all items that are yours and not supposed to be in her library.
    Empty the Zotero trash at the bottom of the left hand pane.
    Now you can turn auto-sync back on.
