Hello, I'm using this program to mirror production files to a NAS drive, so that updated files can be loaded into machinery by anyone but anything done to the NAS files won't affect the real production file folders.
It all works very well except when I set it up to run a batch file when the folders changed I entered in the file path incorrectly. I was able to configure a batch file properly after that, however the first setup attempt is still active. Every time I edit a file in the relevant directories I get a popup error that it cannot find the batch file at the obviously invalid path.
How do I go about fixing this? I'm very new to administrative stuff but learning fast.
Need help fixing my own file path error

Apparently, you have set up RealTimeSync (RTS) to run a FFS batch-file, for which you defined an incorrect file-path. And this incorrect RTS task apparently is still active.
If you defined the bogus RTS task as a scheduled task, open the Task Scheduler, and remove the bogus RTS task.
If you added the bogus RTS task in the users Startup folder, open the Startup folder and remove it from there.
Still, the RTS task will continue to run until you restart the machine the bogus RTS task is active on, or kill the bogus RTS task in the Task Manager.
If you manually started the bogus RTS task, restart you machine or kill the bogus RTS task in the Task Manager.

I set up the task through the RealTimeSync program itself. I looked through all of the Active Tasks in Task Scheduler (There are 93 of them) and can't find any that I think would be the culprit. I tried to watch the Task Status as I saved a file but I couldn't see anything happen up until the error popup. I also don't see anything in the Startup options. I don't know why I didn't consider restarting my computer, I'm going to do that now.

That removed the nonfunctional task as well as the functional task.
I just found the tutorials. I'll watch those to set this up properly this go around. Thank you for your help.
