Upgrade Storagestored files
Hi,
I prefer to manually download and organise the actual sources for my citations, so I have two questions:
When I gather sources, I want to retain only the reference (metadata), not attach any files (PDFs, links, snapshots etc.). Am I right to assume that unticking "Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items" will prevent any file storage?
I have inadvertently gathered a high amount of files in the "storage" folder in the Zotero directories folder (which are actually duplicates of the files I had already gathered in my own repository, but not indexed them with Zotero). Can I delete the contents of this "storage" folder without the indexed data in Zotero being affected?
Many thanks.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You can delete contents of the storage folder without affecting Zotero data, yes (edit: you should also disable file syncing, so the attachments don't sync back down from the server, should they be there.).
