FreeFileSync moving old files to recycle bin instead of Versioning them

[iron_fist351]

Greetings,

I recently moved to a new PC. I brought over my FFS job files with me. However, FreeFileSync is now moving my old files to the recycling bin instead of moving them to my dedicated "Old" folder. Attached is a screenshot of the settings I am using. Does anyone know what might be causing this or what the solution would be?

Just to confirm, the "F:" does exist, right? FFS should throw an error even it doesn't but just checking.

Yes, the F:/ drive is connected, accessible to the machine, and visible in File Explorer. FFS is otherwise making the backups to it correctly, it's just recycling the past backup versions instead of archiving them to versioned folders.
