Hello,
I experienced almost identical problem as mentioned here:

> Syncthing is stuck trying to synchronize a number of files that have been deleted. I checked both devices and the files don’t exist on either one. MEDIA-XPS: Says remote device W530 has 106 “Out of Sync Items.” All of the files are ones that have been deleted. W530: Says everything is fine … all shares are listed as “Up to Date” I searched the forums and tried a “-reset-deltas” on both sides but the problem is still present. The messages in the console don’t seem to indicate any errors. An…
Large 30GB+ sync share with multiple nodes in cluster.
It was quite corner case, as first node share was modified during initial sync to three more nodes. Multiple ‘stuck’ files occured with no apparent reason, and was resolved only renaming file and rename back. But most important was large folder delete, which resulted to Out of sync stuck condition, with no apparent way to re-sync.
The flow: So on primary **node1** **folder1** containing subfolders and files was moved to out of sync directory.
While other nodes made a sync, the **node3** stuck and after some period failed: _directory has been deleted on remote device but is not empty; content probably ignored on that remote device, but not locally_
Indeed, remote folder deleted, but local folder structure was still in place, and contained _.DS\_Store_ files. Those where generated by OS while browsing the directories.
But even removing **folder1** manually still results in “_Failed items_” status, and items listed are exactly manually deleted folder structure.
The _.DS\_Store_ was in _ignore files_ list on **node1** , but not on **node3**. Adding _ignore files_ item to **node3** and rescanning folder, makes no difference.
Any suggestions?

Ignoring something is not good enough to make it deletable.
The docs cover this scenario I believe.
