Take the 2-minute tour ×  after synchronizing, I'd like to
delete some files from my computer, but KEEP them in my external
hard disc (I'm using 'Synctoy'.) what do I have to do in that
case?  In other words- How do I keep files in my external hard
disc after deleting them from my computer?  share|improve this
question If I remember SyncToy correctly, there are three modes
for each folder pair. "sync", "echo" and something else (can't
remember the name of it). Sync is bidirection and mirrors
deletes, the other two are one-directional, and one of them
doesn't mirror deletes - you want to find and see if that one
meets your needs. –  DMA57361 Jan 13 '11 at 9:57  1 Answer 1
You should use "Contribute" (left folder is the one on your
computer, right folder is the one on the external disk).   The
screenshot is from SyncToy 2.1  Synctoy screenshot
share|improve this answer Ah ha! Contribute, that's the one!
Have a +1 for filling in the gaps of my comment for me. –
