Hello all,
On the right side of the window, entries/drives still appear that I no longer use or for which I have deleted the corresponding GUI and batch file. Is this only an autocompletion?
How can I remove these entries?
Thank you!

Those are simply (right-side) locations you have used in the past, provided for re-use for your convenience.
You can simply type your own/new base location in the field or Browse (Auswhalen) to a new location.
Those previous locations are in no way limiting or affecting the FFS functionality.

Nevertheless, if showing those previous locations really bother you, you can remove/edit your GlobalSettings.xml file.
Open that file with a text editor, e.g. Notepad++, and look for the FolderHistoryLeft and FolderHistoryRight tag. There you find a <Item> ... </Item> line per previous left or right base location.
You can delete each full <Item> ... </Item> line you don't want to appear any more, and the save the file again.
Note: like described in the linked manual page, you should only edit the GlobalSetings.xml file after closing all your FreeFileSyns Instances.

You can also highlight them with your mouse cursor and push the 'delete' key on your keyboard. Much easier

Ah! I didn't know that also worked for the drop-down lists.
Never to old to learn something new ... ;-)
