I've deleted a BatchRun.ffs_real file that was set up to check for changes to a folder using RealTimeSync. However every time I start up my PC, RealTimeSync tries to run this deleted file and I get an error prompt

Cannot open file "D:\#FreeFileSync Backup\BatchRun.ffs_real".

ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND: The system cannot find the path specified. [CreateFile]

How do I clear this command in RealTimeSync completely?

You deleted the RTS configuration, but you didn't delete the startup item that runs it.
How did you enable it to startup on boot?

In FFS I saved a batch job BatchRun.ffs_batch file.

Then I drag BatchRun.ffs_batch into RTS, which produces the command line "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" "D:\#FreeFileSync Backup\BatchRun.ffs_batch"

I understand this would automate FFS to run each time RTS detects a change in my original folder, and will activate a mirror copy to my backup folder.

The ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND only appears when I reboot my computer. I don't know where I can locate the startup item that runs it. Would you have any advice?
