[closed] files not being deleted from my webdave

Hi, I recently started running out of space on my webdav account, so I've just deleted about a dozen large pdf files.
I've emptied the trash. Restarted firefox, resyned zotero. The files are still showing up in my webdav folder. I could just manually delete them, but shouldn't have to.

can get a debug id if it will help.

[edit update] OK: hopefully helpful update: I reported this problem from my Ubuntu system. I've just synced my Windows system and the files are no longer in Zotero; which is good but they're still on my webdav server.

Should I think about doing a reset to the server? I'll hold off doing this, as I know in some cases this causes more problems. Advice greatfully received

Regards, Jon.
  • OK, went ahead anyway, deleted the zotero folder from my webdav, reset sync history and then did a complete sync over night. Seems to have gone without a hitch, and as a bonus I've actually gained 400M - so I guess there must have been a lot of orphan files on the server which are now cleared out. Result.
