I use freeFilesync to sync local files pn my drive with ones on several flash drives in one task. I have to delete all the files in flashes before the transactions. It writes ERROR_DISK_FULL [CopyFileEx]
. So I have 2 questions:1.how to calculate free space need for sync 2. Does Freefilesync use less free space , when I use option to delete Files without Recycle bin?

Disabling recycle bin will save space for sure. You may also consider performing the deletion operations first, to free the space up

Or, if large files files need to be replaced, you may be suffering the side effects of FFS's fail-safe file copy feature. See e.g. here.
