How do I delete offline files/folders from laptop
I am having a laptop that has Windows Vista installed in the same. I had enabled file sharing between other computer that has XP and Vista. When I connect the Vista system with XP the files are synced with each other. In this way I am able to keep my files updated. But there are some files which I do not need. Last time when I check the offline file folder the size was around 20GB. The files size is keep on increasing and when try to delete them I am getting access denied error. Anyhow I deleted them but on reboot all the files were restored back. This is a very weird issue.
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 - Offline Folders
I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 and I am having the same problems. I was really excited about this functionality but I am having many problems with it.
In addition to the issues above, I am also getting an error "The mounted file system does not support extended attributes" when I try to transfer files to my NAS and prevents me from transferring files. I have been using Windows XP with my Buffalo Terastation NAS for over 3 years and have not ever saw this error message.
The Terastation runs Linux with a XFS file system. I really think the error handling for Windows could be improved in this case - instead of throwing up a message and bombing-out, give me an option to strip the attributes that cannot be transferred - this would make offline folders much more useful.
*** Update****
I just used my laptop to copy the files with Windows XP and didn't have any issues. Looks like Windows Vista 64 Bit has some issues.

Did you check in msconfig.exe to see if anything is starting up you do not recognize that could be related? Could it be a virus of some type? Can you move it, perhaps to the root directory? Have you tried taking ownership of it using the properties/security settings?
