Hi Gabriel,

Thank you for the reply.
Unsubscribing the RSS feeds ensures that no new content is downloaded. And manually deleting the 'feed sub-folder' ensures that there are no 'feed leftovers' in the system.

Glad that the issue is fixed; thank you for the confirmation. Do reply if you have any further questions.
