list_folder/continue not return deleted event for those delete permanently items

Hi,

I use list_folder/continue to track events of the drive, everything is good beside permanently delete.

The api returns nothing if user delete items from cloud permanently, is it a limitation or just a bug?

Assume I have a token 'TOKENA' and use it to watch folder /foo. 


When user create a file 'bar' under 'foo', I can get a created event of /foo/bar and user delete it permanently, I look forward to get a deleted event of /foo/bar instead of nothing, for now, it just disappear silently, so I can't keep data consistency.

    Greg I have done few tests on nas and i have seen that the problem now has been fixed. So when the recicle been is emptyed on the cloud the nas correctly deletes even these files.
