When you delete everything from Toodledo using the "Delete all tasks" options at the bottom of the Settings menu in Toodledo web, nothing gets deleted when you sync those changes to any mobile app. I have to go out and manually delete everything individually from each of the mobile apps. If I delete individual folders or notes or tasks then they get deleted fine when I sync.

The 3 mobile apps I confirmed this with are:

Toodledo (Android app)
Ultimate To-Do List (Android app)
DGT GTD (with the DGT GTD Toodledo sync plugin for Android)

It looks like those Settings options delete things in a way that are not syncable???

This is intentional.

The "Delete all tasks" option is meant as a last resort when dealing with something crazy that happened with an app that synced badly. The idea is that you would delete everything from the website and then ask your app to sync so that it would put it back, hopefully correctly.

If you are really trying to delete everything from everywhere you would need to use the "delete all tasks" option on the website and in each app that you use.

Ok, but that is certainly not intuitive. Maybe you could put a note about that next to the delete options.
