    Files keep coming back after being deleted


    I deleted some game save files of Witcher 1 to free up space on my OneDrive. I emptied them from the desktop recycle bin and the OneDrive recycle bin but they keep coming back into my save file and taking up OneDrive space. Essentially, the deleted files keep reappearing on my computer after being deleted and emptied from the recycle bin.
