i'm using FFS 5.22, set up two-way syncing between two folders, however after deleting files in one folder, syncing will restore the deleted files from the other folder instead of deleting them from the other folder.
please help tq.

First of all, you must be sure that "Two-way" is selected in Synchronization Settings.
Secondly, after the first "two-way" sync, FFS creates a database file (sync.ffs_db) in each folder that holds information for the synchronization and "remembers" the current state.
If this file is deleted, then FFS has no way of knowing that the deletion was done after the synchronization, so copies the deleted files back to the other folder.
