I recently am having trouble with a machine, where a script (that we wrote) copies files to the Box folder, so they will sync to the cloud.

However, recently I found the C:\ drive full, because the Box sync had stopped working after Windows reboot after installing updates. Some files are left in a "old_Box" folder, that I later found already in Box.com. Note that this "old_box" folder is NOT linked to the sync in any way.

I had cleaned up those files... only to find over the weekend that more Windows updates were installed, and a NEW "old_Box_2" folder with quite a few files.

So - from what I can tell, the Box client is somehow creating these "old_Box" and "old_Box_2" folders. But - is this documented somewhere? Under what conditions are these created?

Thanks
