Files on computer deleted from Sync folder!

Big welcome to all forum users.

As in Title I just noticed that all files in my Sync folder on COMPUTER (not My Cloud device) were deleted and only when I switch on WD Discovery they are being copied from My Cloud???

How is that possible? I know that what you delete on computer sync folder the WD Cloud will delete from itself but why it’s doing other way around?

Thank you for help

I want to inform you that data that is deleted on the folder will also be deleted on the My Cloud, while files deleted on the My Cloud WD Sync folder will also be deleted on the computer side as well. This is not a backup software.

However, there is a way to restore the deleted files, please refer to the link below:
