    Hey Jason,

     

    1. These files should be of downloads that haven't completed yet. Once a file download has completed, it should be moved from the TMP folder to your actual OneDrive folder. If you don't have any pending downloads, then this is a bug.
    2. Yes these are safe to delete, but any pending downloads would be restarted.

    Can you grab logs from ~/Library/OneDrive/Logs and direct message me them?

     

    Thankyou!
