jokej_outlook after the refresh is the file being deleted from the UI? 

If you create a new file policy I would expect files in scope to be rescanned automatically without needing to refresh.

Thats right because MDCA employs 2 separate scanning engines to process near-real-time speed and another for files already present in the system. By creating a new policy, the whole list will be refreshed.
Unfortunately, I can't go that route because I have a downstream process which requires the same policy ID.

    jokej_outlook I would recommend opening up a case for this so it can be investigated.  If the file is in the trash and it's deleted, I wouldn't expect it see it in the UI and matching a policy.
