    Hi Fearless, sorry to jump in here!

    Let me know if you notice a different behavior, and we'll remedy this.

Hi Fearless, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are these files still in the same location as before when you were syncing them, or are they no longer there?

 

This will help me to assist further!

No longer there. They were on an external hard drive, I removed that hard drive from my computer and transferred the files onto another hard drive. The original hard drive has now had the files that were to be synched removed.
