How to delete previous pocket pc profiles from desktop

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Every time I have done a hard reboot of my pocket pc when I have
reconnected, to my pc, I have to set up a new profile for the sync. If
I attempt to use a previous name it tells me that it is already in
use. I would like to get rid of all these profiles. How do I do this
so i can reuse my old ones?

Thank you.

>> no joy <<

Can you post the exact steps you use to delete and create the partnership?

That would help in determining what's going on. Please include
dialogues and your responses.

Unplug your device.

Open ActiveSync. Click File | Mobile Device. Change to one profile and then
click File | Delete Partnership. Repeat these steps.

Now, enter the correct name on your Pocket PC, and place it in the cradle.
You'll be asked to create a new partnership, which will have the name you
want.

This will work for what he needs, because "Delete Partnership" is the tool
to, well, delete partnership.

The "this does not work" you refer to is for a "recovery" from the act
of deleting a partnership (which deletes the registry entries) but
leaving the sync _folders_ in place.

Mauricio,

Except, well, for the fact, well, that it doesn't, well, work. At all.
Well...
