Problem with Synctoy

Using WinXP Home SP2. Trying Synctoy 2.0 Beta.
Deleted some folders on left. The folders previously existed on right.
Ran Synctoys Echo which was supposed to delete on right folders deleted
on left.
It did not.
What is going on?
Is this program useless or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Seems like you may have deleted the folders on the left before you ran the
Echo folder pair for the first time. If that's the case the behavior you're
seeing is exactly right. SyncToy doesn't know that those folders used to
exist on the left. With Echo you don't actually have a two way sync so stuff
which only exists on the right is never touched by SyncToy unless there's a
naming conflict of some sort.

Please let us know if you still have an issue with folder deletes flowing
from left to right after you ran the folder pair for the first time.
