Well obviously it isn't if I can delete the files, whilst they're online and we can synch etc.

Even so If I sign in after these folders/files are deleted then shouldn't it only send the files that originate from them?

I didn't think sharing folders were meant to work like Groove

Yes indeed. I'm just going to assume that your contact didn't sucessfully synch the folder with you because if it had, then when you sign back in it shouldn't synch the files you deleted; it would have been deleted on their end also.

Are you in the 9.0 beta?

I am indeed, also beta tester for Plus! and SP3/4

I'm not using 9.0 at the moment though as I will not install it on my Dads PC whilst I am staying here for Christmas

When I'm back home I may do some VM tests on this and 9.0.

Well when you're able to test it on a machine running 9.0, and add me on messenger and I'll test it with you because it's functioning properly on my end :).

Usually when you delete a file using the sharing folders window, then it is deleted from the Sharing Folders cache on your hard drive. If you delete it from the folder it is usually re-downloaded. (Although this makes the USN journal service have no point in my opinion...)

I think Nile may be right now I think about it - I think you are only able to delete your own files, not 100% on that... will do some testing... when I have a contact online :p

Even if you do delete the file your end it may not delete on the other persons PC as they may have moved the file but its strange then when I sign into my sisters computer it updates my sharing folder on there with the files I sent one off my contacts previously

No, that's not correct. That's the whole entire point of synching files between users. You SHARE the files, no matter what's in the folder, it's always synched. If a file is deleted from the folder, it's deleted off BOTH ends. That's expected functionality. However, if the synch is unsuccessful (Which happens very frequently), the files could remain on your contacts end until a successful synch between them. It's always been like this since Microsoft introduced shared folders into Messenger :-/.

Hence why we all think it's the other way around.

Sharing folders are rubbish anyway :P

I didn't mean that the synch problem has been in messenger since shared folders were introduced, I meant that it's has supposed to work the proper way listed above since it was added to messenger. It has always synched perfectly for me :p.
