Use these instructions to stop syncing a channel's files from your file directory.
Before stopping a sync please ensure all files in the channel are fully synced (i.e. OneDrive is up to date and files are either a blue cloud or green tick)
You can review what the status/ sync icons mean here.
The instructions are to stop syncing a whole channel's files which appears as the screen shot below
If you accidentally stop syncing a channel that you do what synced, you will have to re-sync it. For instructions on how to sync a channel's files click here
Instruction

- Click 'Settings'
- Wait a few seconds for your synced folders/ locations to load then click 'Stop sync' for the appropriate folders you wish to stop.

Once you have stopped syncing the folder, the status icons will disappear from file directory (see screen shot below).
