Deleted files/folders reappear as they are synced back online from client OneDrive
Same issue here, very annoying. The library in question uses Document Sets, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I'm going to open a support ticket and go through the hell that is Office 365 support. If I get any resolution I'll post back (I'm not very hopeful here).
I encountered this problem in the last week or so. I was using the WordPress UpdraftPlus plugin to backup my website and selected OneDrive as the backup site. Then due to the small free space allocation for OneDrive I decided to use Google Drive instead. Naturally I wanted to delete the portions of the backup that were put in OneDrive. However, after deletion they got mysteriously replaced. While fumbling around, at one point I got the error code 0x80004005. Don't know what to do about that, since that error seems to be about the WordPress SQL over which I have no control.
Any ideas?
I've solved my problem. The WordPress UpdraftPlus plugin was still listed as an authorized user of my OneDrive folder. This authorization was granted when I designated OneDrive as a backup storage site. Apparently, Updraft didn't (or couldn't?) remove the authorization when I deselected it as a backup site. I'm sorry to say I don't remember the details of how I removed it, but I found the procedure online at a Microsoft site. That was done yesterday, and the unwanted backup files and the OneDrive subfolder they were in were gone!😊
