Hi from me as well, JonR!
Before you paused syncing, was your local Dropbox folder showing the exact same files as your online account? And was the Dropbox app syncing as normal?
Also, I was wondering why you paused syncing in the first place.
In any case, though, the app will need to sync the deletions you made while offline, so if you unpause syncing, that's the expected behavior.
Meaning, it should sync the deletions and not download the files from the website.
Have you tried unpausing syncing, to see if that's the case?

When you say you have a ‘full offline sync,’ do you mean your entire Dropbox folder is synced locally using the desktop app, or have you used Selective Sync or Smart Sync to exclude or make some folders online-only?
