Moving a plastic repository to cloud-based, was hoping to use old folder but it won't let me.

Hi there, I hope someone can help with a pretty novice question. We have a large repository (1.3TB) that we want to move to cloud-based. I've got the enitre repo downloaded locally, and wanted to now add it as a new repository to upload to a cloud repo. However, I get the error: "the path xxxxx is already contained in a workspace". Is there a solution for this that would let me not have to copy the entire 1.3TB folder structure? 

Just as a side note, we will be discontinuing the old repository, so its not really a problem if I have to "disconnect" the old one etc.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Within your workspace folder will be a hidden .plastic folder which links it to the current repository, if you want to make this folder a new workspace pointing at a new repository then you will need to delete this folder.

Hope this helps.
