yes, i can deleted from the web site
- DeletedFeb 23, 2018So are you talking about a folder within a synced site itself? Or the root level folder under the Teanant name? Cause if it's that root folder that you synced itself, you got to reboot after removing the sync from settings to be able to delete cause the onedrive service holds onto it locally. Maybe stopping onedrive will let you too, but i just reboot.

Stopping OneDrive and only then delete the folder that was creating the sync issue worked for me!
Many thanks!
