Uhm, you just select and delete them? Maybe I don't understand the problem. PS: You can upload images as an attachment (and even place them inline).

Are they anywhere else? Do they exist on the "two different drives"?

Are you even running a batch sync (and not via GUI)?

Thank you but the rights are well defined for the user. The rights and the mapping are the same way as on my posts in windows 7. Can be a problem of law on windows 10?

Sounds good. :-) And thanks for your prompt assistance, it's much appreciated. Kind regards, Roger V.
