Sometimes when I delete a folder with content, Syncthing deletes only the files and leaves the folder empty. This causes Syncthing to display that “Out of Sync” message:
02:14:03 INFO: Puller (folder “sync”, dir “New folder\test”): delete: remove \?\C:\Users\user\Sync\New folder\test: directory not empty.
Just to explain better this problem, let’s imagine we have:
Syncthing folder
folder 1
file 1
file 2
When I delete “folder 1”, Syncthing only deletes “file 1” and “file 2” on the other computer:
Syncthing folder
folder 1
Anyone knows how to fix this?
I’m using Syncthing on Windows (1# SyncTrayzor v0.11.16) and OSX (2# Syncthing Bar v0.11.16)
I have been having a similar issue recently - I have many folders within a synced directoy (my music library) I have 6 peers connected in this share, occasionally when I’ve changed the music - renamed the album etc - some nodes complain that the directory isn’t empty. I then have to manually delete the files on that node before it will delete the directory. Other times it will work as expected
Nope. I already rebooted both computers, restarted and updated syncthing… and the only way to fix it is by manually deleting the folder or to remove the main folder from syncthing and start again.
Let me give you an example, I have this folder “out of sync” for 4-5 days now. Aparently the problem is on the “Camera” folder, which is empty and was deleted on my other computer:
you’re right. There is content inside the folder (for some reason windows doesn’t display them, sorry!).
