Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client
I once marked my Pictures folder to sync to ubuntu one, but realised it was bigger than the 2GB ubuntu one i have, so i unticked the box again. It worked, but the next time i used my computer it was ticked again, and i would get a dialog about my ubuntu one being filled, and this window appeared and disappeared instantly in a loop.
Sometimes when i untick the box it seems to work, but the next time i start my laptop it's back, and sometimes just nothing happends.
Reproduce: I haven't got a clue. Mark an enormous folder as syncronized?
My system: Ubuntu 10.10 upgraded from a 10.04 install. I used the 10.10 beta for a while, when the problem first occured. I have a laptop from HP with a i86 intel processor and 1Gib ram.
The package is version 1.4.5-0ubuntu1

This happens because the request to unsync the folder is added at the end of the queue. So it will only remove the folder after the complete sync of all the metadata. The U1 team is currently discussing ways to better handle this. You can run this command in a Terminal to see the metadata queue. At the end you should see the DeleteVolume.
u1sdtool --waiting-metadata
If you want to remove a folder fast that you have accidentally added to the queue you can follow these steps:
u1sdtool --list-folders - note the ID that is used by new UDF
u1sdtool --unsubscribe-
u1sdtool --quit - this will quit the syncdaemon and drop the queue
u1sdtool --start - start syncdaemon again, but do not connect
(in new terminal, since this will not release the terminal right away) - u1sdtool --delete-folder=$ID
(back in the original Terminal) u1sdtool --connect
