ive got some shared folders setup with some of my contacts.....

in one of them it says:

'you have different versions of files in this folder. View files'

then:

'The following are conflicting files between you and your contact. Learn more about resolving file conflicts'

and the link takes me to here:
Help  Page With HUGE URL

both of the solutons don't work because there is no delete option when right clicking the file and pressing del does nothing also.

how can i fix this?

thanks

The Sharing Assistant is a tool designed to assist users perform basic diagnostics, package all necessary logs to report feedback, and clean up Sharing Folders related components if necessary.

For those who wonder: note that the shared folders feature in Windows Live Messenger Beta is only available to specific regions.

what will the cleanup delete?

it deletes the msn messenger folder in the application data folder apparently... will i loose anyhting by doing this?

Yes, everything which is cached and stored in there will be gone...

Using the "Cleaner" option in the Sharing Assistant will result in loss of data, such as shared content, cached contacts, etc. It is strongly recommended that you perform clean up after backing up your data, and if -and only if- instructed to do so by Support.

WLM is a beta, so you shouldn't be using it anyways for your everyday/normal chatting, but for testing...

BTW: I suppose you also tried to simply delete the file in Windows Explorer (while Messenger isn't running)?

indeed... it still doesnt have the delete option ...i think ill leave it there, instead of loosing data

Windows Explorer is the file manager of Windows. It has nothing to do with Messenger. So, I don't understand why you say: "indeed... it still doesnt have the delete option"...

ill show you



so.. 'it still doesn't have the delete option' (when messenger is closed)

i know this might sound dumb but have u tried dragin the file to the recycle bin, or try login in as administrator or safe mode also it seems like you are not on, but tha could be because of the different versions of folders.  and are this your files?, since  this part of the system even a non-administrator user can acces.

C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Windows Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\<Your Passport Email>\Sharing Folders\
