iCloud Documents/Desktop folder sync when wiping a device

Post by makerbiles6 » Fri Jun 05, 2020 7:18 am

I have 2 Macs, both with iCloud Documents/Desktop folder syncing enabled. This means I have the same files on both computers in these respective folders (and all of them are downloaded, local on both devices). I am going to wipe the first device, where all the files were actually created and originally stored. If I do this, will all the files be deleted as I am intentionally deleting the contents of the computer that originally created the files in the first place?

I want to wipe the first computer while leaving the synced and downloaded Desktop/Documents folders from iCloud on the 2nd computer fully intact.

How do you plan to use LiveCode with that?
