Deleted files/folders reappear as they are synced back online from client OneDrive
Same here in the Free version of onedrive. This is the first issue I encountered and I resolve it by taking all clients offline, then remove the file/folder from every computer (including the copy on onedrive). Stupid but it works.
It appears some file has been opened by a computer, therefore it reappears. I think a "OneDrive reset" on each computer would work?

The problem is more annoying for me: if I go to Onedrive on the web, I delete a file, then Onedrive client on Windows 10 re uploads the file that's just been deleted. And this sync back to all my other devices. So the file remains on the cloud and on each device.

This is happening to a client of ours, have you been able to resolve the issue or did Microsoft shed any light? David Saber
