Storage full

HannahP
Probably a stupid question, but my storage is full online. I want to delete most of the stuff from the online storage - if I do this, will it also delete from the standalone? I basically just want it all stored on the standalone only. Cheers!

    You can purge your storage online:
    https://www.zotero.org/settings/storage
    and then disable file syncing under preferences --> sync in Zotero Standalone.
    While "purge" will just affect your online storage, you should _not_ delete individual attachments online if you don't also want them deleted locally.

    Thanks! Am I able to sync just a single file from the standalone so I have everything on the standalone and just that file online?
  • adamsmith
    no, I don't think so.
  • HannahP
    Thanks! One final question - I purged the stuff online, but all the references still appear in the online "My Documents" section, along with links to each article online. What does the purge actually delete?
  • adamsmith
    the links are still there (so you know those items have attachments) but the files aren't - try to open them.

    what if i remove the syncing process before i purge the online storage?
  • adamsmith
    sorry, I don't understand what your question is.
  • ikbenecht
    sorry for not being clear.
    you say in the second post in this discussion:

    You can purge your storage online:
    https://www.zotero.org/settings/storage
    and then disable file syncing under preferences

    is it ok if I first disable file syncing and then purge the online storage?
  • adamsmith
    sure, the order makes no difference.

    thanks!
