Cannot Undo the Sync Setting + A Software Removal Issue

$

Hi! Two problems:

1) I recently reorganized the shared folder structure. Now that the old folders are empty they should be removed. The problem is, some of these old folders are syncronized (as offline folders) on the endpoints (in\\SERVERNAME section) and I haven't figured out how to undo the syncing configuration. So, the folders are in online mode and connected to servers but folders are syncronized. I have deleted the old folders' sync setting in GPO (User Config: Adminly assigned offline files), but these folders are still synced on the endpoints. I have even tried to remove some user profiles and then logged them on again; Windows still configures these folders as syncronized. If I delete one share, the folder naturally goes in offline mode and still appears on the endpoints.How can I force the old shares as "not syncronized" in GPO so I can delete them so that they correctly disappear on the endpoints as well (in\\SERVERNAME section) and Windows doesn't try to sync them anymore?

2) I have earlier removed some deployed software in GPO. The software didn't remove on the endpoints (= Windows logs say the software failed to remove). After that I've succesfully installed the same software again and it works perfectly. Windows still seems to try to remove the old version on every startup... Is there any way to "tell" Windows not to try to do it anymore :P

Thank you for your replies already beforehand :) / Aleksi
