Removing Palm data from public syncing stations
Wilfredo and I discussed the issue of student data being stored on the public syncing stations when a student syncs forms data. This data not only is not needed, but the data is sometimes personal in nature and (over time) takes up disk space. In the past, the directory that houses the synced data was deleted manually. Which in some instances can take up quite a bit of time. We’ve discussed the possibility of creating a nightly process that will delete that unwanted and unneeded synced data. I have completed a system process, installed on the public syncing station in Wilfredo’s area, that will delete that data automatically each night and restore the Palm OS directory. The process will be tested over the next few days and will be deployed to all public syncing stations when I have confirmed that the process runs without a hitch.
