Default How to stop using offline files?

Hello,

I've been disappointed with the offline file feature (read access are
slow because it checks the server for newer version, write access are
slower because they go to the server directly, there are some
bugs...). I'm switching to a simpler model (I'm using PowerFolder to
keep some files on my hard drive in sync, and so far it's working
great for me).

I want to stop using Offline Files and I can't figure out how to do
that.
I opened the offline files folder, right clicked on the computer that
has offline folders and selected "Delete Offline Copy", but it didn't
seem to do anything.
I did the same thing with an individual file, and it didn't seem to do
anything either (the file was still there)

Any help appreciated
Vincent

You can re-initialize the offline files cache. See

for more details.
