Imported folders in my folder tree

koidl
I am using Zotero accross different PCs and Laptops and my list of imported folders (e.g. named: "imported, Tuesday, January 25th, 2011 10:11:00 AM") in my folder tree is growing pretty long (over 5 every month)and this list is clothering up things.

What exactly is their function and what happens if I delete these?
Can I maybe set a folder in which they are to be placed in future?

Thanks
Kevin

    are you transferring your data using import/export? That's not a good idea... that's what sync is for.
    And yes, you can absolutely delete the collections - they're there in order for you to know which items you have just imported, but deleting the collection will _not_ delete the items it contains.

    Hi Adam,

    Thanks for the reply.

    No I am syncing through zotero and an additionl webdav service. So no manual stuff happening here.

    Will just delete them in future when they pop up.

    Thanks

    I'm not sure why you're saying "pop up". You realize that these just appear when you import a file ( RDF, RIS, BibTeX, etc.) into your library (or somebody else in a group library does)?

    HA! Now I understand. No I did not realize that. I was thinking it has to do with the Sync.

    Now I know what is going on.

    Thanks a million
