What issue do you have?

OneDrive just alerted me to a high number of files having been deleted. I found them to be hundreds (possibly) of Joplin files. Any suggestions as to why they have been created and why they have been automatically deleted please? A screenshot of a sample is attached.

Until recently, Joplin didn't delete old note versions from the sync target. The deleted files from OneDrive may be old note revisions.
