Deleted files/folders reappear as they are synced back online from client OneDrive
I have the same problem: reappearing folders and files after deleting them in Teams reappear after syncing the with the OneDrive sync client.
I tried the following and that helped: deleted the files and folders in Teams, opened the channel with SharePoint and deleted the files and folders permanently from the Recycle Bin. The files did not reappear in the Windows Explorer and were removed from the OneDrive sync client.
Try This.
Make sure the Microsoft Account is VALIDATED on the computer from which the deletions are taking place.
Start>Settings>Accounts
If you see something "You need to validate your microsoft account on this computer" that could be the problem. I had a user who was deleting files in a shared folder in OneDrive. I watched the files being restored from another computer by watching the OneDrive sync in real time. I had them Validate their account (text message or email) and after they did, the deletes are sticking. The files are no longer being restored.
Well, this seemingly worked, for awhile, but no dice. Some of the photos we deleted still reappeared. Now the issue is seemingly random. Trying to nail it down.
NOTE: Photos are being deleted through the Win10 native Photo app NOT through Explorer.
