About a year ago, I set up the desktop skydrive app to sync my photos directory to the cloud. Since I had multiple drive partitions, and I couldn't fit a full copy in c:\users\{account}\skydrive, I set up a symbolic link to my d:\pictures directory. This worked fine under both Windows 7 and 8-on other PCs I just said not to sync this folder.
Once I upgraded to 8.1 though, I started getting multiple copies of all of the files in this folder, to the point where it filled up my hard drive:
This is a sample of five copies of the same picture. I'd like to try to clean all of this up, since it's not obvious anymore which files are online copies, and which are offline. So far, I've tried removing the symlinked directories from my skydrive, in the hope that would remove the online files from the local file system, but that doesn't appear to have worked. What I'd like to do is:
-Remove all the online copies of files from d:\pictures, so only my local copies remain
-Recover all the mangled filenames that skydrive has created
-Set things up the way they worked before-I'd like to use my skydrive space to store the photos stored in d:\pictures without moving the entire thing to the C drive.
Is there a way to do this?
