Are files deleted on remote computer after being removed from Libr

I have a few computers that I manage and was curious if I decide to remove
one from the Library, will it delete the synced files from that computer or
must it be done manually?

It will move the deleted file to the trash folders on all the other
computers. Note this isn't the same as the Windows Recycle Bin or the
Mac Trashcan.

You can find the trash folder by clicking on the FS icon and selecting
More|Settings. Then look in the General tab for the path to the trash
folder.

Thank you for the info. I do know about the trash folder but just wanted to
see if the easier accessible folder, where it was syncing, removes the files
to trash and becomes clean of files after being removed from the Library.

Oh, hang on, are you asking what happens if you remove a computer from a
library? Sorry, in this case, the files remain on that computer, in the
state at which they were last synchronized.
