I have been using sky drive to sync data from my pc to the sky drive for a year or so.

Last week I had a performance problem, nothing was getting uploaded/it was running very slow. Looking at the forums I gathered that un-installing and re-installing the software might help me. I had some trouble doing this but eventually got it installed again.

However, sky drive started syncing from the sky drive to my PC, overwriting files I had recently changed. Luckily, before downloading the file from sky drive it renamed the file on my PC, so I did not loose anything. I decided to upload everything from my PC to the sky drive again so I deleted everything from the sky drive - my sky drive is now empty.

Now whenever I try to re-install Sky drive the installation process tells me that files will be synced from the sky drive to my PC. I re-installed several times - it always wants to sync from the sky drive to my PC

So how do I get the product to sync from my PC up to the sky drive?
