Dropbox Community ModeratorHey all, thanks for joining the discussion here!
Sometimes this can happen then the file is being accessed from another device, so Dropbox can't sync the deletion of the file and it ends up being synced back to the original location.

Let me know what you find and we can go from there - thanks!
