Question Sync/Delete confusion

[patdicke]

Synced old HP laptop to new Asus laptop. Didn't realize my Samsung S21 also got synced. Now there's tons of stuff on my phone that I don't want there. I think I know to turn off sync so I can delete only from phone, and from not all devices. But if I turn it back on, will it sync all those files again?

Welcome to Android Central! Can you give more details about which sync option you're referring to, and what data got synced to the phone?

I believe it was ASUS Switch - part of setup process. So on the prime there are all the photos -almost 20gb, all the folders and files, etc
