When moving a file from OneDrive to SharePoint the file is also added to the recycle bin.. strange!?
Hi Henning Strand & jcgonzalezmartin,
I chatted with the feature owners and this is expected. We place a copy of the file into the recycle bin in case something happens during the move or the move was made by mistake. Hope that helps!

MicrosoftHi Andrew Silcock,
Thanks for the feedback! I will pass this along to the feature owners but I don't know if this is something we'll be able to quickly. I'd recommend submitting this over at sharepoint.uservoice.com as this helps us prioritize what we work on next. Thanks!

This is also causing problems for some of my clients, it is my understanding that if you are moving files/folders within the same sharepoint document library that a copy of those items should not be placed in the recycle bin. This is mostly how it works but sometimes my client has something wacky go on with the move and ends up with the copies in the recycle bin, cue the client panicking and restoring those items to the original location causing alot of confusion.
Can anybody explain what has gone on in this screenshot as my colleague witnessed this and we believe it is related to the problem.
- Yes, we are getting this 100%+ thing as well. Very strange.
