Deleted SharePoint folders keep reappearing
We are having problems with a number of folders in a SharePoint site accessing via a link in OneDrive which seem to have multiple lives. When we delete them from one user’s laptop (OneDrive app) or Via the web ui, then other user’s laptops recreate the soon after. This happens whether or not there are files in the folders.
I have today had to re-delete 100s of folders. Each time I do, another user’s laptop puts them back again. Sometimes the recreated folders are tagged with the user’s laptop name as a tag eg: FolderName-ComputerName – I think this is when the original FolderName was already re-created by another user’s laptop.
No sync errors are reported on the user’s laptops.
There is no “odd” configuration. All the users are “Members” of the site.
We’ve had this happen for one or two folders in the past but in the last two days it’s gone crazy.
Any clues about what’s happening and how to stop it?
