Cannot delete files In Teams

HiGaryS123 ,

The files on the "Files" tab are the files in the SharePoint document library. Its not synced at all, it is those files.

I can only think it is some sort of caching issue if you are still seeing the files after a refresh. Usually it is instant on a refresh of the Files tab (icon in top right).

Andrew Hodges Thanks, I'll wait it out a bit as I think it may not be just me now as you can see in my other reply.

  Sounding like a cache issue. If you right click teams in the systray area “by clock in bottom right by default” and sign out and sign back in this will clear most cache and should fix your issue.

    ChrisWebbTech Thanks for your reply Chris, we have tried all the solutions here now and it happens on multiple PC's so we had no choice but to delete the team and recreate it which may have been the same outcome if we had just deleted the group.
    This was our first team so to be honest not much content so no big deal for us.
    
    Just hope it doesn't happen again once we are fully into teams !!
