Removing offline files sync partnership

Summary:

Removing an offline files sync partnership is not as straight forward as it should be. However, there seems to be a way to remove them none the less.

Actions:

1. Disable offline files in the sync centre. 

2. Reboot your machine for the changes to take effect
3. Go to C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\ and take ownership of the folder

• Right-click the CSC folder, click properties.
• Click security
• Advanced
• Owner
• Edit
• Select or add your username to the list
• Put a checkmark in “Replace owner on …”
• OK

4. Delete the server folder that you want to remove from the partnership
5. Reboot your machine again
6. Restore permissions on the C:\Windows\CSC\v2.0.6\ folder

• Go to the permission tab and make sure the checkbox -include “inheritable permissions from this object’s parent”- 
  is checked. Then reboot and verify the permissions are correct.

Offline files should now work again and the sync partnership should now be removed completely.
