Network drive cached even though offline files disabled
Hi, I have offline files disabled on my network through group policies. I've confirmed this by going into the sync center and clicking on 'Manage Offline Files". When the window appears the "Enable offline files" button is greyed out, and below that it says "Offline files is currently disabled". However if I right click on one of my mapped network drives (H:\), under the general tap it says "Offline" and the file system is listed as "CSC-CACHE". The pie graph also shows the current capicity and free space of my C:\ drive and not the network drive. If I right click on any of my other network drives it shows the file system as "NTFS" and the pie graph shows the current free space of the actual network drive. Even if I try and manually navigate to the network location using windows explorer it still is showing the cached info. I can tell this as some of the files have a grey "x" over their icon and I can't access them. And also if I make changes to files they save ok, and the new version will open up fine on my Win 7 laptop. But if I look at the file from a different computer it still has a last modified date of a couple of days ago and none of my changes are in there. Can someone please advise how I can permanently disable offline file caching for this particular network location? I would've thought having offline files disabled would've prevented this?! Is there a way to post screenshots as it might make this easier to explain? Thanks Brad
