Hi FFS,
Would like to request the feature when doing a Sync to delete all possible file deletions first. I am stuck at the moment doing a manual sort of sync as I am told I need more space on the drive. I am doing a mirror copy with permanent delete from one 6tb drive to another, I apparently need another 338mb of space on the target drive, but I cant find where it is. I'm going to have to wipe the backup drive and do a complete copy at this point. Was just thinking, If FFS just went through the copy list and deleted everything it could first, Then This wouldn't be a problem. Just a thought. Thanks for your great work, Cheers.

First link should be enough, but there's more related info as well.

Thanks for the reply, I do have it set for Delete and Overwrite, I have now switched off Fail Safe File Copy. I can see in the comparison list many files way down the list to be deleted, and it seems to be copying first before deleting these files. Today as I said i had to go and manually delete a lot of files first before it would work. I will go buy a bigger drive tomorrow. 42tb just isn't enough anymore, lol.
