OwnCloud Remove all files prompt

I have a owncloud server and the owncloud desktop client.What I want to do is to be able to delete things server wise and have it automatically delete from the pc. The problem is that the owncloud client displays a warning message of "Remove All Files"? with the choices of Remove all files or to keep files when the files are deleted from the server. Is there a way to not have the prompt come up and automatically remove all files?

Solution

  • In the version 2.2.3 (maybe earlier), you can change the configuration file to disable the prompt.

    See the code where the prompt is invoked and the code showing the configuration file property.

    If you edit (on Windows): c:\Users\myuser\AppData\Owncloud\owncloud.cfg and add the following, under the [General] section, you will no longer get the prompt.

    promptDeleteAllFiles=false
