Hey Blair Sherwood, thanks for reaching out to our Community.

Keep in mind that a selective sync conflict means that you have two different folders with the same name in the same location and that the original is removed through selective sync. 

That means that you should be able to find the original folder in your selective sync settings.

If the folder appears as unchecked, it means it's removed with selective sync, so if you check the box next to it, it should sync down to your computer.

Can you try and let me know how it goes?
