p4 sync issue: Unable to sync all files after changing mapping and deleting folder

I wanted to change the path of mapping in perforce client

For ex:

//depot/a/... /home/user/xyz/...

to

//depot/a/... /home/user/p4/xyz/...

After changing the path using p4 client, I have deleted folder xyz using rm -rf.

Then ran p4 sync but I think some files are not getting synced to new path p4/xyz/.

Same problem here and none of the solution worked. It turns out that file I was trying to sync was p4 opened. Once I reverted that back using p4 revert it synced back.

Below solution works for me.

p4 sync -f //depot/a/...

What I did is,synced the whole base directory,directory which contains all my files and folders.

-f is necessary because it will actually copy, which doesn't happen in normal sync situation(try doing ls on file for confirmation).

In case of a single file rm -rf situation you can do 

p4 sync -f path/to/file

The server thinks that the workspace/client already has the #head revision of these files and does not need to sync them again.

You can try using -f option to force a refresh however that is taking a hammer to problem that just needs a pair of pliers.

I would try a p4 sync -k //depot/a/...#none to update the server 'have' list. Type [p4 help sync][1] for more information about the command.

Try using the force (-f) flag. See documentation.

There should also be a checkbox in the GUI, if you're using the visual client.
