Sharepoint - Deleted file still appear in results source
Hello !
I have an issue. I have a sharepoint with multiple library and a lot of document (>50k docs). I have two types of library, "active" and "archives", for exemple "articles" and "articles_archives". I have a power automate flow who run everyday and put document more than one year old in the archives. This method work well. But in my sharepoint I use PNP modern search who use Results source.
This results source is simply a search in "active" library. But for no reason, the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/manage-result-sources return delted file or file who have been moved in the "archive" library. This "ghost" file apear but they don't exist so I don't know how can i delete them from the result source.
Exemple :
This document is a "ghost file" and the result source return it
This is a document who is originaly (before he was move to archive i guess) in the "invoice" library ((Because the URL is "https://xx/sites/xxx/INVOICE/FVQ2150029_xxxxxx.PDF") but this document don't exist. Here is my search
I tried to reindex my library but it seems not work so i don't know what to do to solve my issue. Hope someone can help me ! Thank's a lot !
(sry for the misspelling)

- After my call with the microsoft support, my issue still persist. Apparently this issue is known since June, I will update this post if i get more info
Hello Justin_Gaultier
it may take a while for the index to be recreated (up to hours or days).
When it not helps, create a MS ticket, i'm sure, they can help to recreated the index in the background or other magic things
