Comment 6 for bug 612059

melodram,
Thank you for clarifying your bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have included some worarounds for the issues you raised. these are not ideal, but will get the job done until a more user friendly approach is developed. Thank you for filing this bug and providing valuable user input.

As a workaround, to get the folder out of your cloud storage, you can do the following.

1. Open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Ubuntu One)

2. run the command:

   u1sdtool --list-folders

you will get a result like this:

   id=7f8491ab-f431-4c8a-91a7-f561faa05fca subscribed=True path=/home/duanedesign/Pictures

3. Take the id number and insert it into the following command:

   u1sdtool --delete-folder=7f8491ab-f431-4c8a-91a7-f561faa05fca

This will remove the folder from the server and not remove any data from your computer.

If you add a folder to your Ubuntu One account and wish to remove it before the sync is complete you can follow the directions on Roman's wiki page.
