Although there are similar threads, I’m posting this new thread as it clearly illustrates a condition I believe syncthing should handle.
I have posted about this earlier, but without details.
I haven’t posted it as a bug as I think it could well be on the core team’s radar and don’t want to post a duplicate.
I’ve had similar problems before, occurring when the linux side won’t delete a non-empty directory. Deleting non-empty directories is normal Wndows practice.
This case seems to be fairly simple, so I’ll try to document it before deleting the file on the linux side.
My wife’s laptop hasn’t been running syncthing for a few days now. I installed Sync Trazor for her this morning and set it runnng.
A directory no longer used for outlook, together with an old ~ file was deleted while syncthing wasn’t running on her laptop.
The problem directory and ~ file were transferred to the pi before ignores were set up properly.
So now we get 11 failures to delete a non-empty directory followed by a minute’s silence - repeated ad infinitum.
From past experience, I know that all I need to do is delete the ~ file on the linux side.
