[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebarrier:
This can't be correct, can it?

Basically, I use Onenote on my laptop for school, and sync it to my desktop and the cloud.

I've had my Lumia 710 for all of a few days only, and it's running out of space (essentially it has just about completely) because it seems to be syncing absolutely everything to it.

Most of my notes in Onenote I would never want to view on the phone anyways. I just want my basic to-do list folder which is tiny, and a homework list folder, which is also tiny. None of my handwritten notes are visible on the phone anyways, but it seems to sync them regardless.

I contacted Microsoft Office support and this is what they said (The names are edited of course, as I've paid for my copies of Office and logged in using my real name/account):

bladebarrier: Hello.

M$: Welcome to Microsoft Customer Service Chat. Please give me a moment to review your question. Is that okay, bladebarrier?

bladebarrier: Sure thing. Take your time.

M$: Thank you for patiently waiting. In relation to your concern, please note that synchronizing is a feature of the phone. For this one, it's best that you contact the manufacturer of your phone that can assist you on how you can manage the files to be synchronized to save storage.

M$: Ma I ask for the brand of your phone?

bladebarrier: It's a Nokia Lumia 710.

M$: I see. Please contact Nokia Lumia Support for further assistance in managing the files. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

M$: Is there anything else I can assist you with/

bladebarrier: I don't even have Nokia software installed though. It's purely that Office is syncing everything based on my windows live account.

bladebarrier: I just need it to sync specific Onenote folders, and not all of them.

M$: I understand. However, it's the phone storage where it's being saved so to organize and manage the files, only Nokia Support can address this one.

M$: I appreciate your patience and understanding.

M$: Thank you for using Microsoft Customer Service Chat. Please feel free to come back again. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Is this correct? Office is just going to fill the phone with everything? The desktop version allows selective syncing. The phone version should be able to do that too, no? Was the CS rep just confused, or do I literally have to sell the phone already, because it wants to sync everything I have in the cloud and will automatically fill itself up until it's unusable?

Is it actually something on Nokia's end? That would seem rather odd to me, because I've not installed any Nokia software on my computer, nor do I have a Nokia account associated with the phone. I bought it used, did a factory reset, logged in with my windows live ID, and all of a sudden BAM, massive docs started syncing over.

Any help would be appreciated!

//The crummy thing is that I really like the phone, and the syncing of just my to-do lists would be fantastic (as well as maybe a couple other very small onenote folders). So far I have no issues at all with it, aside from the fact that my remaining storage just about hit 0.
