How do I delete a sync agent?

I am trying to clean up my Azure environment. I have a bunch of Sync Agents that are no longer being utilized, but each time I select one to attempt to delete, I get an error that states "The Sync Agent was not deleted",
without giving me any specifics.
Does anyone know how I can go about deleting Sync Agents that are no longer in use?
Thanks

Hi,
1. Local Agent cannot be deleted if its associated on-Premise database is unreachable
Description/Symptoms : If a local end point (database) that is registered with a local SQL Azure Data Sync
agent becomes unreachable, the local agent cannot be deleted.
Cause : The local agent cannot be deleted because the unreachable database is still
registered with the agent and when you try to delete the agent, the deletion
process tries to reach the database, which fails. This database cannot be
unregistered too, because during unregistration process, local agent tries to
connect to database which cannot be reachable.
Resolution/Workaround : Create a local database with the same name as the one that cannot be reached,
unregister this database from local agent, and then proceed to delete the agent.
2.  Sync Group cannot be deleted within 3 minutes of uninstalling/stopping the agent Description/Symptoms
You are not able to delete a sync group with in 3 minutes of uninstalling/stopping the associated local SQL Azure Data Sync agent.
Resolution/Workaround : Remove a sync group with associated sync agents online (strongly recommended).
If agent is offline but installed, bring it online on the on-premise computer, wait for the status of the agent as online in Azure portal, and then remove the sync group.
If agent is offline because it was uninstalled, perform the following steps and try deleting the sync group.
-Remove agent XML file from the SQL Azure Data Sync installation folder if the file exists
-Install the agent on same/another on-premise machine, submit agent key from portal generated for the agent that’s showing offline
3. cannot delete my sync group
Description/Symptoms : You fail in your attempt to delete a sync group.
Cause/Fix : Any of the following can result in a failure to delete a sync group.
The agent is offline  : Be sure that the agent is online then try again.
The Data Sync service is stopped :
* In the Start menu search on Services
* Click Services in the Programs section of the search results.
* Find the SQL Azure Data Sync Preview service.
* If the service status is Stopped right-click the service name and select Start from the dropdown menu.
A database is offline : Check your SQL Azure and SQL Server databases to be sure they are all online.
The sync group is provisioning or synchronizing : Wait until the provisioning or synchronizing process finishes then retry deleting the sync group.
Hope this helps.

    you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer

  • How do I delete the synced offline files from my iPhone?

    Hey people! I just unchecked "offline" for all my playlists on my iPhone to free up some memory. However the usage of the Spotify-App is still shown with 1GB. Is there any way to get rid of the cached songs besides reinstalling the app? Regards, Marius

     No one from Spotify has posted since Meredith asked for user info regarding the bug. Generally that may not be so surprising as it has only been a couple of months. Howerver, it is not as it was news to the Staff. This thread:Help-iOS-iPhone-iPad-iPod-Touch/How-do-I-delete-the-synced-offline-files-from-my-iPhone is from spring 2012.
    My point is that I think it would be good if everyone experiencing this problem made some noise.

  • How do I delete a synced folder of pictures when the computer is gone?

    I have a folder of pictures on my iphone 4 that I synced over a year ago.  The computer the folder was on has since crashed and all data gone.  The folder is still on my phone but when I log into itunes and click on photo tabs, then sync button, the folder does not show up.  How do I get rid of this folder?

    It should delete when you sync photos from the new computer

    What operating system do you use? Where do you store the files?

  • How can I delete a synced tab?

    I want to get rid of a fairly risqué tab

    Can you give more details what happens when you close a tab?
    Do the tabs reopen when you (re)start Firefox?
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • Idisk still trying to sync daily, how do I delete sync

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, the iDisk - which no longer exists - still tries to sync daily using the schedule I had setup when using MobileMe. Each day I get the same error message that it can't perform the sync. I understand that but I can't figure out how to delete the sync settings.
    MobileMe is not present in System Preferences, so I can't delete the daily sync there. Nothing in iCloud has a way to delete the old MobileMe sync. How do I delete this sync so the sync error doesn't appear everyday?
    The iDisk icon does not appear in Finder so I can't make any changes directly to iDisk. If I try to login to my MobileMe account, which I know is now my iCloud account, it automatically sends me to iCloud. I can't find anyway to delete the sync in iCloud.
    Thank you.
    Sheri

    I'm afraid I have no further idea. You don't have a MobileMe prefs pane in 10.8, and if you can't find any of the prefs files then all I can suggest is that you contact Support.
    If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you will probably be asked to pay a fee.

  • How do I delete photo albums from iPhone??

    How do I delete/UN-sync photo albums from iPhone

    If you put those albums on your device by syncing with your computer you need to do another sync. This time deselect those albums from the Photos tab in iTunes on your computer then click on Sync or Apply.

  • My voice memos duplicate every iTunes sync and now takes up 3GB of my backup size and also from 'other', how do I delete them?

    It seems since I got my iPhone 5, my voice memos get duplicated every time it syncs with iTunes.  There was only a few memos but a couple of them were rather large.  I have found this out by looking at my iTunes backup and find them in /media/recordings.  I have stopped them from duplicating by de-selecting them from iTunes, but now how can I delete these items from my phone to free up the space?  The best way I could think of is somehow remove them from my backup, then restore.  I use iCloud normally for backup so I am almost out of space.
    I am using OS 10.8.2 with iTunes 11 and iOS 6.0.1

    Update: iExplorer does support deleting voice memos. Received helpful product support email detailing how, even before I registered the product.
    while you can delete voice memos where the actual files are stored in Media/Recordings (which is where you should see those missing voice memos), iExplorer 3 isn’t designed to delete them from your device since deleting them iniExplorer 3 won’t update the voice memo database on the device
    It's still quite slow and crashes if you try to delete the entire list (I do 10 at a time now), but it works to delete memos that are not refered to any more within the Voice Memos app.
    Still doesn't solve the Apple iTunes problem of duplicating SW, which appears to still be happening on a small scale, but I am recovering the Other data back to Free slowly.

  • How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync my contacts and it has resulted in doubling and now tripling the

    How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

    Hi Cynthia!  If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete.  Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF).  Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE.  You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone!  Hope it helps!

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

    I download apps directly to my iphone.  When I sync with my laptop, how do I avoid having sync delete apps, photos/vdeos, songs downloaded on my iphone?

    If you are syncing to the same computer that you always sync to, and have each of the items in itunes that you want synced then you shouldnt have an issue. The only way you would have an app come off your phone is if you uncheck that app from syncing in th apps location in itunes.

  • How do I delete an app from my phone but not the computer? Is there a way to deactivate it so it doesn't add it back when it syncs?

    How do I delete and app from my phone but not from the computer? Is there a way to do this so it doesn't add it back in when it syncs?

    In iTunes under the Apps tab for the iPhone device just uncheck any app you don't want synced to the phone. When you next sync the app will be removed from the phone but remain in the iTunes library.
