Interesting delete issue with the oDrive client in windows/ (bad actually) This seems to happen in gdrive and teams folders. Will check dropbox in a minute. First of all auto empty trash set to immediate delete files through file manager. sync starts Message about files not syncing because the are still in recycle bin. Empty recycle bin wait for a bit … Files are still sitting in the trashbin folder of odrive. Click empty trash and sync all deletes. Empty trash deletes corresponding files from the source. Are you sure you want to delete source files? When you delete files, odrive does not synchronize the delete with the source. Instead, odrive holds the delete in the trash to let you recover from the source if necessary. Empty trash finalizes the delete. Click empty trash Get this …Restored deleted item Untitled spreadsheet.gsheetx.cloud. Please manage and edit your Google Doc files via the Google Drive web client. files get restored.

Hi @chip , Thanks for the detailed explanation. We don’t allow manipulation of google doc files (gsheetx, gdocx, gformx, etc) through odrive. We basically made them read-only from the perspective of the odrive desktop client. We put this safe-guard in place a while ago to prevent odd behavior with Google Doc files, which are not “real” files in the sense that they only exist remotely. Google treats them differently and we had observed odd behavior, at times, when user’s intentionally or unintentionally tried to manipulate them. Apologies for the confusion.

Wierd Delete (or lack therof) for Google Docs
