The issue you are facing:

For some time (i.e. for several upgrades of NC and NC client) we are facing that files come back after deleting, no matter whether deleted on the web interface or in Finder (Mac). This affects External Folder and “normal” folder alike. Encryption is turned on.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N):n N

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Delete files
  2. wait
  3. Refresh - files are back

I still see this with NC 24. Running a desktop client I delete a few files, then some (not all) are back later (did not really look much into it). Not sure if this is a client or server issue. But at least I am not the only one suffering from the same thing.
