"Delete Shared Item?" Notification pops up every time files are deleted from OneDrive Shortcuts

Starting from yesterday, we've encountered a significant change with OneDrive shortcuts in file explorer: whenever a user attempts to delete a file, OneDrive triggers a notification labeled "Delete Shared Item?." This notification inquires whether to "Keep Items" or "Delete for Everyone." It's crucial to note that this prompt halts OneDrive from synchronizing any further modifications made by the user or others. Only after a choice is made between keeping or deleting, does OneDrive resume processing any alterations to the folders.

Initially, I suspected this issue might be tied to the OneDrive setting "Notify me before many files that I delete on my PC are removed from the cloud." Nevertheless, altering this setting did not resolve the issue, as the prompt persists after each deletion attempt, regardless if it is just 1 file or a number of them are deleted.

Any suggestions you may have are greatly appreciated!

    We are also experiencing the same problem in all of our computers/users.

    Please fix this issue ASAP. This is not only annoying but also causes problems of replicate files etc.

    We already know what to delete and also know that once a shared file is deleted it gets deleted for everyone!

    Fingers crossed, I believe this is fixed. At least it hasn't happened to me today.
