SyncIQ - Can I modify without having to resync

Community,

Here is the scenario.

1. A syncIQ policy was created on directory i.e. /ifs/data/synciq to sync data from Source Cluster to Target Cluster.
2. There are multiple child directories within /ifs/data/synciq
3. The initial sync for policy /ifs/data/synciq completes its over 250 + TB takes weeks to complete over a 1GB network.
4. Customer A, and B decide they no longer want backups of their data located at /ifs/data/synciq/FolderA and /ifs/data/synciq/FolderB
5. An exclusion was created on the SyncIQ policy for /ifs/data/synciq to now exclude folders /ifs/data/synciq/FolderA and /ifs/data/synciq/FolderB from continuing to sync its deltas.

Although I am pretty sure I know the answer to this question.  I have to ask just in case I am not aware of things that can be done but not recommended .  I am ok with disclaimers.

Question is:  What steps can we taken to reclaim the space folders /ifs/data/synciq/FolderA and /ifs/data/synciq/FolderB are taking up on the Target cluster?  Is it even possible to force the target sync location into write mode and remove the excluded folders so that we can reclaim its space?  Is it possible to do all of this and maintain the integrity of the sync policy and the data within without having to resync the ENTIRE directory over again?

***PLEASE NOTE***

1. We want the best non disruptive to the users solution.
2. We don't want to have to resync the entire /ifs/data/synciq its too large and would take weeks if not months.

Thank you,
