Default Sync to Cloud copies files between local folders

Thread needs solution

I've changed the Folder for the default Sync, (that you cant remove), from my user folder to another folder I want to sync. Now TI 2013 copies files from my user folder to the new folder I want to sync, which means I get a copy of all my user files in the wrong folder. Why is that and how do I stop that? I want TI to only sync the folder I selected.
I've changed from "C:\Users\" to "c:\data\sync_folder". That makes TI copy all files under "C:\Users\" into "c:\data\sync_folder"

If you change the default folder that is created between the Cloud and your local folder, the Sync program will copy all the files that have been previously synced with the cloud to your new folder, and any files that are in the new folder will also be synced into the cloud. To pervent this in the future, you would need to sign out of the Cloud from within True Image, and log into your Acronis Cloud account and delete the files containd within the sync first. In addition, it is best to remove all syncs from your online Acronis account and delete the Sync folder on your local system and start over by signing back in to Acronis and allowing True Image to create a new sync and then change the destination folder to the new location.
I typically do not touch the default local to Cloud Sync after it is created. I always just create a new local to Cloud sync.

So I cannot remove the default sync, Do I just keep it paused if I am not using it?
