With the new function that shows the unsyncked files at remote servers I found unsynched files with these descriptions:
(folder and filename replaced “…path…file…”)

I tryed to find the file to check if there is another capital leter problem, but the folder path doesn’t exist.
Also, with a very old date, when I installed syncthing on 2017-08-15.
To recap: Folders on all involved devices show up-to-date but all involved devices show these files as not synced for the remote devices.
In similar past cases, the delta indexes were out-of-sync. You can check by getting the file information for an affected file via the rest api: https://docs.syncthing.net/rest/db-file-get.html
Thanks for your reply. I understand that with this API command I can do a query to the synchting and check that its detecting the problem.
But I don’t know how to run this command. And I don’t know how it will help me to solve the problem.
I must apologise if I am not able to understand the workaround.
Ah sorry, I was just being lazy and not explaining what to do in detail. Most likely running syncthing once with the -reset-deltas option will fix your problem, so lets try that first. If you share a lot of data and/or your connections are slow, it might take a little time until everything shows as up-to-date again (and hopefully those “ghosts” go away.
I am restarting server one by one, for the first 3rd machines was usual time spend for rescan and resync.
but when I turned on a 4th server, take so long, hung up, slowing shared folders, and unreliable.
the 4 servers are on, when the 4th server where synked with one of the other machines apeared again that there are the 10 ghost files.
What I am doing incorrectly ?
Only one current server each time ??
Stoped and isolated all servers to resync files and before connect with other servers ??
3 weeks later, it seems that all was correct… this morning all servers shown again files to be sync from unknown devices!!
I need to -reset-deltas again in all servers ?
It was an awful experience, I should do the reset one server at a time ?
or I need to do at all together ?
I can’t understand why is detecting changes more than 5 years ago

You probably need to shut all of them down one no known files are out of sync, do a -reset-database on all of them, and start them back up. Potentially set one of them as master before hand. It seems that some device has announced some files a while ago, and those files are no longer to be found anywhere.
