Encryption issues - Delete Unexpected Items not working?

Support
1

I shared a folder and forgot to add a password initially, and the recipient device started syncing some files as “Receive Only - Encrypted”

I then set a password on the folder, re-added it and the re-sync found some of the old files in the recipient device and rightfully got “Unexpected Items” with the button to “Delete unexpected Items”

When I press this to remove those unwanted items, nothing happens.

Logs show:

You should check what’s happening on the other side, in the logs.

3

Sorry for my ignorance, but do you any suggestions on which logs to enable?

4

I don’t think you need to enable any logs, from the logs you posted above, the problem seems to be happening on the other side, so just normal logs from the other side I suspect will explain this.

Do the unexpected items go away after a scan (or pause/resume folder)? Then you’re problem might be Delete Unexpected Items in receive encrypted folder is unable to delete ".stfolder.removed-*" · Issue #7706 · syncthing/syncthing · GitHub which is already fixed in main and will be in the release after v1.18.0.
