DFSR conflict and deleted folder grows unexpectedly large

Minimal guidance for messy support realities.

Scenario

Administrators discover a large conflict and deleted folder consuming server disk after replication issues.

Recommended Resolution Path

  1. Determine what churn or duplicate editing created the conflict growth.
  2. Review whether staging and cleanup are functioning normally.
  3. Do not delete conflict data blindly until you understand what active content might be implicated.
  4. Capture the replication health state before cleanup for future reference.

Technician Notes

Capture the exact scope of impact, confirm which dependency failed first, and document whether the issue reflects broader domain or server drift.
