Deleted files/folders reappear as they are synced back online from client OneDrive
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

Can the reason be this?
- 10 Persons has synked the files to their desktop.
- 8 person are on the net when the files are beeing deleted
- then 2 persons are logging on to the network and then their local files are beeing uploaded to onedrive/teams/sharepoint? (the files and folders that have already beeing deleted?
- Then it is beeing distributed to all the other users?

Hi
I am here because of the same issue, not sure I can add myself in as I have not seen any replies.
I might have failed to get basic concept of how Onedrive works but same here I am getting deleted files and folder from the app on windows 10 not even been deleted on the portal.
I have created an account to specifically share files within the organization, I believe this is a E1 or E1 Business License.
I am so far testing with a couple of users as a proof of concept to eventually deploy within a small org so they can have a central storage to access, upload and modify and files they need to work on.
When I for example delete some files from one of the test laptop all with the latest version of Onedrive, these files are still present on the main account on the web which is where these are shared from. Is this normal practice and expected behavior? As if this is the way it works, I cannot even consider it anymore other than having to look to some more reliable solution elsewhere.
Please let me know
Thanks
