Upgrade StorageTemporary sync on a shared computer keeps collection structure
Hello,
I am testing the functioning of Zotero in a computer classroom for teaching purposes. While testing on one windows desktop computer, I have logged in with my Zotero account, started syncing, made some trials with the browser connector and Word plugin. All works well.
When I removed the syncing to reset everything from start, I have noticed that the folder structure on the left of Zotero (collections, saved searches and shared groups) from my account were still there. They were empty but the folder architecture stayed.
This may be problematic as multiple users are going to log in with their account and sync.
Is there a way to "reset" the folder structure to default?
Thanks

When you unlink your sync account, it asks if you want to remove local data. If you don't, your database remains completely intact and nothing is deleted. If you choose to delete local data, it restarts Zotero and deletes the database completely. There shouldn't be any scenario where it only removes some data.
