OneDrive Mac - local files delete immediately instead of move to trash

please give onedrive app an update
because its very frustrating we cant puct back the files that already delete

and its very unconfortable when we delete file then always appear message -> Are you sure you want to delete “AAA”? This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action.

its kind a slow down the pace of organizing file in onedrive sync folder on a Mac

Thank you

Hi, same issue over here. Probably there was an Onedrive update and all the files went online ("Free up space" status). Also I get the message "This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action." and cant find files anywhere after deleting them (not even in the online recycle bin). Very annoying and unreliable behaviour. Hopefully Microsoft can fix it quickly (Urgently!?!)

Hi FraserDon and all. It's likely Apple's fault with the new FileProvider model that OneDrive uses. Although I could see Microsoft wanting to force people into using the Recycle Bin in the web version of OneDrive. So maybe they chose to implement it that way. iCloud certainly allows trashing files.

Try this: delete a file you don't need and accept the Finder prompt so the file is deleted immediately. Then navigate to your OneDrive on the web. You'll find the file sitting there in the Recycle Bin. And you can restore it from there. For most of this, this is not the desired behaviour.

Workaround: Create a "To Trash" folder on your Desktop (which is not in OneDrive). Drag any files and folders to be deleted to "To Trash". Trash the files in "To Trash" as needed.

Automated workaround: I have done this and it works. Create two macros in Keyboard Maestro. (There may be ways to do this with other tools like Hazel). One macro watches the "To Trash" folder on your Desktop. Any time files are moved there they are automatically moved to the real Trash. The other macro only runs if the Finder is in the foreground. It responds to the Command-Delete keystroke and issues an AppleScript to move the selected files to the "To Trash" folder.

Please note: you might think you can do this with just the one macro and move the file direct to the Trash. But what will then happen is the file gets permanently deleted without warning. Presumably it's up in the OneDrive Recycle Bin--I didn't check.

One last thing. This solution, i.e. using a To Trash intermediate folder, loses the capability to "Put Back" whatever you've trashed, if that matters to you. The item(s) would just be put back into "To Trash". Instead you will have to manually find where the item(s) belong. Note that OneDrive's Recycle Bin does have "Put Back" capability, though the file will not be automatically re-downloaded even if you have selected Always Keep on This Device.

Per Clark's request above, please "give feedback on the issue to the related developer team of OneDrive for Mac by select OneDrive icon>Send feedback. Your feedback will promote the related developer team of OneDrive to change the behaviour in OneDrive sync folder."

To move files & folders permanently to your local drive, click the cloud/download icon next to the item in Finder or right-click & select "Always Keep on This Device." It's not perfect, because new files added seem not to be downloaded by default & have to be "told" to download, but it downloads & keeps most files local. I've submitted feedback on that issue as well, so please chime in on that with feedback from within OneDrive as above!
