"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!

    Can others please confirm the original posters claim: "It's crucial to note that this prompt halts OneDrive from synchronizing any further modifications made by the user or others."

    This does not seem to be true for me. If I delete a file, get the yellow exclamation but do not act on it, I can create new files and sync does succeed for subsequent files.

    Hi Porrelaar.

    I have version: 24.045.0303.0003 and this problem also occurs here.

    Porrelaar rolled back to 24.020.0128.0003 to fix it, so maybe it was introduced with your version?
