Well the server is back up and I checked my self on SS. The thumbs are still there.  . Anyone have anymore tips how how to get them to not show up on SS?

Pressing the power button on your pc will turn off thumbnails.

So your saying I should turn off caching then restart?

You want to DELETE them, right?

1st: do what shn said.

2nd: in windows explorer:
tools>folder options>view>select "show hidden & system files"

now you can see the little buggers & delete them

make sure you select "do not cache thumbnails" or they'll just come back.

I prefer to leave the cache on, previews come up faster and use less RAM.

but, hey

[Jts87]

1. I have "show hidden files and folders" on
2. They dont show up
3. I did the cache thing, that dident work

Yes I would like to delete them. What next?

[Sid Hartha]

Did you re-launch Soulseek after deleting the files?

Soulseek scans your files at startup, so any changes you make won't show until the next time you start the app.

Disabling them only stops windows making new ones not deleatoing all th eold ones

So back to square 1. Can I actually delete them or stop them from showing up in SS??

Yes.

Go to folder options, check "do not cache thumbnails". Show hidden files. Show operating system files. Go to the folder(s) where the db file(s) is/are and delete them. Restart Soulseek
