Thanks for your response!
It would be better if second recycle bin in SP is stay for longer or to be cleared manually only when it's required as the 93 days not that long specially if there is critical data!
I'm still looking for solution for this and hope will find something 🙂
for delete confirmation on synced folder, I don't get any delete confirmation message when I hit Del button.
At least Microsoft if can customize the delete confirmation to notify users files will not be retrieved after 30/90 days! will be good idea specially when users experience on file server mostly files can be retrieved via routine backup.

You set a preservation policy. All files deleted go into the preservation hold library for whatever time period you specify. It’s like a 7 year or whatever you define recycle bin that users can’t delete from. That’s why I said preservation/ retention can’t remember what the policy is called they kind of cross terms.
