Deleted lightroom directories are scanned forever

[arentsen]

I deinstalled Adobe Lightroom, but it had its library in My images folder. SyncbackSE still finds those directories and it takes forever to scan them all. I cannot exclude them from the backup folders in the profile.

I also tried sdelete.exe in the command box, but it did not help. What can I do?? I can't copy my image any longer this way.

Hi

You might need to ask Adobe why their folders can't be deleted? (If you do, suggest tell them what happens when you try...)

And you don't say why you can't de-select the folders from the profile? Such as, what happens when you try? Is it that you can't see them? Have you set Explorer to show hidden files & folders?

Hi,

I can't see the directories in the program nor in explorer. All hidden files are visible though. So Syncbackse finds the files on the hard drive structure, while Windows itself does not find it.

I will try to contact Adobe. Thanks!

You still haven't said why you can't de-select them in SE?

One thing you might want to try is to open the Choose... dialog (on Simple settings page) and click the Clean-up button (at the bottom). Could be it's not actually finding those directories, but it is looking for them (because your current folder selections tell it to scan there - so it tries...)
