Notes: * Removing the synched folder from the sync client would not delete the local folder & its contents from the local server or desktop, nor would it also delete the folder & its contents from your DCP account. * Therefore, if you do not wish to have any traces of the removed sync local folder on your DCP account, please delete the same folder on your DCP account accordingly. * The deleted folder from your DCP account could still be recovered from “Deleted files” section, located at the bottom left of your DCP web account, unless you further delete it permanently.
