Hi, I have an unexpected sub-folder in the folder that I am using FFS to
backup. The sub-folder is labeled "FFS 2011-12-07 201209", so I am guessing
that this was auto-generated by FFS. I don't know what I did to create this
folder, and I can't seem to find an explanation for its presence. I apologize
if this is an obvious, or easy-to-look-up question, but I cannot find an
answer. Thanks!

This is a temporary folder created when deletion handling is set to "recycle
bin". During sync FFS moves all the files and folders that shall go into
recycler into this folder and starts recycling after sync. For some reason
this last operation failed, probably due to some locked file within. The sync
log should give a clue about the error code.

Thanks Zenju! I think that I had a file open while I did my sync, and this
is what caused the problem.
