One post I did notice was that the problem was connected to syncing with One Drive. Stop One Drive and they disappear for good.

Would you please post the URLs to the references you mention ? Thanks.

This pc is always on so if that's the case I won't notice for many months. What really irks me is that Windows seems to be prone to such random and wholly unexpected nuisances which suddenly happen just because, no apparent cause at all. I'm pretty sure I did nothing new, pure routine (just copying a folder, for crying out loud !)

Also, I've never used One Drive or any cloud services, nor do I intend to. My private stuff is always kept locally in my HDDs and other local media.

Thanks again and have a nice weekend.
