In other words, the remote is not an exact replica of the local.  For example, a renamed folder is there with both new name and old name, with all of the files inside both.\r\n\r\nWhat am I missing?  I re-read the Read Me file, and if I understand it correctly, a straight sync command is what I should be using to keep the remote as an exact replica of the local.  \r\n\r\nThanks!\r\n\r\nIsaiah"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ncw/rclone/issues/comments/170027014","html_url":"https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/285#issuecomment-170027014","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ncw/rclone/issues/285","id":170027014,"user":{"login":"isaiah36","id":16434349,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/16434349?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36","html_url":"https://github.com/isaiah36","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/isaiah36/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-08T15:09:01Z","updated_at":"2016-01-08T15:09:01Z","body":"I just browsed the ACD via web and saw the empty directories.  The files are indeed being deleted.  Now I am doubting myself.  I manually deleted through web browser a directory with duplicate content earlier, and the total space usage went down as if files were deleted, not just empty directories.  I will keep checking again to see if remote deletions are failing some times, but as of now I am in doubt about my previous experience. "}}
