Offline files sync

Vista Business, fresh install, new Dell Latitude D630 Core2Duo 4GB of RAM.

I setup Offline Files to sync a part of a network share at work, so I could
easily work on files while at home and have it sync when I got back into the
office. It sort of worked for a few days, but always seemed to think the
connection was offline unless I rebooted. When I rebooted it worked until I
left the office, then it was permanently offline until I rebooted in the
office again.

Three weeks ago it became totally useless and will NEVER go online and sync
the files anymore. At this point I just want to remove it like it never
existed, because I cannot access that network share anymore. It always
shows the local copy (stale) and it's always in the disconnected state. I
can't get to other branches of the share either.

How do I remove all traces of the Offline Folder so I can access the network
share again?

Thanks.

You give all the details of your system but failed to mention any results
you get from the Sync Center, found in Control Panel.
