Hi @Doug Watkins ,
Did all files or folders have this problem?
I suggest you stop syncing OneDrive and delete the files from PC, and go to OneDrive for Web to delete the files you want to delete in local. After deleting files from PC and web, you can sync OneDrive again.
I also suggest you Turn Off Files on Demand, OneDrive’s Files on Demand feature allows you to keep your files or folders in the cloud and access them from your devices without downloading them first. This is a great option if you want to save space on your HDD or SSD: however, it might prevent you from deleting a file. Here is how to turn it off:
- Right-click the OneDrive icon from the taskbar.
- Click Help & Settings > Settings.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Uncheck Save space and download files as you use them. If the option is already turned off, enable and disable it again.
- Click OK to save the changes.
Try this method and check if this is helpful.
