How to auto-remove local files deleted from Sourcesafe?

[navoff]

So, here's the problem:

1. Both users are on Windows 7.
2. User 1 opens a project in Flare and deletes a bunch of files from it, selecting the option to remove them from source control. The files are gone from User 1's PC and from Visual SourceSafe (version 8).
3. User 2 uses Flare 9.1.1 to open up project (clicking yes to the question, "Would you like to get the latest version of all files in the project?"). The files deleted by User 1 (from User 1's PC and SourceSafe) still exist on User 2's PC.
4. User 2 goes to Pending Check-Ins and refreshes but gets no files listed.
5. User 2 selects the local copy of the file and tries to check it out. Flare gives no error message but it also doesn't check the file out.
6. User 2 makes a change to the local copy of the file and tries to save it. Flare gives the following error message:

Code: Select all

Failed to write file (path to file)
[Access to the path '(path to file)' is denied]

How does User 2 sync up to match what's in Visual SourceSafe? Adding and changing files seems to work fine, just not deleting files.
