Cannot delete files In Teams

If you delete files in a Sharepoint library, Teams still sees the file and will not remove it if you try to delete it.  Is there a way to remove the files in Teams if they have been removed in ShareP...

    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).

GaryS123 that is not expected behaviour.

 

If you click the refresh icon at the top right of the Files view in Teams - do the relevant files get removed from the view?  e.g. is it a caching / display issue?

Rob Ellis Thanks for your reply, I have tried the refresh but now I just get the circle going around in the middle of the screen and cannot see any files in any of the channels on this team.  I'll try later in case its at MS end.  I've tried both the app and the web browser.
