Hi ! Sorry if this topic was already discussed... I tried to find it without success

My setup is a batch that runs daily mirror syncs with the Google Drive FFS's feature (by the way, Is it the most efficient way to do this ?)

I noticed that when a folder (containing other folders and files) is deleted in the source, FFS removes only the files in it... keeping all the path folders empty in the target location.

Am using the same settings to sync with a hard drive and the folders are successfully deleted.

Is there something am missing here ?

Thank you for your help :)

What does a comparison show?
When this happens, what does the log say happens?

I seem to remember a thread in this forum on a similar or the same topic (but failed to find it).
If I remember correctly, FFS only deletes files (if necessary for the sync), but does/can not delete folders, in some cases leaving destination side empty orphan folders.
This is/was a general issue; not Google Drive specific.
