Does Canceling sync delete files from microSD?

[devoidzer0]

I'm in the middle of a huge sync of my MusicBee library to a new 256 GB microSD card.  If I click Cancel will everything be deleted from my card and will I have to start over or will I be able to resume the sync where I left off?  I'm using MB version 2.5.5804.

No, it shouldn't delete files that have already transferred.

Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to 3.0?

Honestly, I wasn't aware it existed until I came to this site to ask this question.  I downloaded the version I am currently using 2 years ago and have been using it since then.  It's the only music library software I've found that has a sync option which works exactly how I need it to.  

As for upgrading, usually software will automatically check for updates, and I did look for a menu option to do so but didn't find one.  Was always planning on going back to the site to check but never got around to it.  I will definitely be upgrading to 3 now.  Thanks for your answer and help!

When I clicked Cancel, another window popped up with a list of the tracks that would be aborted along with another option to cancel and a spinning circle.  Since I wasn't sure what it was doing at that point, I waited awhile before clicking cancel again.  

Now there are a lot of empty folders on the SD card with the album titles but no tracks in them.  I am fairly certain that those folders had files in them that were synced and it deleted them.  When I started the sync again, it started from artists beginning with "B" when I had got all the way up to "K" before I canceled.      

I'm not blaming you at all psychoadept, you said it "shouldn't delete" the tracks, which was hardly definitive, and I realized I was clicking cancel at my own risk.  Well, at least I am now upgraded to version 3.1 while I sync again.  It's not a big deal, really.

Huh.  Hopefully the update will do the trick for you, but if you continue to have issues with syncing, let us know the details.

Will do, thanks again.
