    Sunching has finished. Everything seems to be ok  now.

    Deselecting a large folder from selective synch, give time to my PC for deleting these files and selecting for synch again the same folder was the solution in my case.

Glad to hear that everything's working as it should, andreas360. 

If anything else pops up, just give me a shout. 

In the meantime, have a lovely day ahead!
