Onedrive - We detected a virus in this file and stopped syncing it

[BDenver]

Hello-


Recently my onedrive has been giving me the following error on my WINDOWS 10 Pro computer:





These are old profile files I had from a backup I did a long time ago. I have scanned them with two different virus scanners and one malware scanner with negative results (plus my virus scanner scans by entire drive including onedrive files every week - these files have never come up as issues on those scans).


I ended up deleting these files from onedrive on my computer, from onedrive online, and from the onedrive recycle bin. Despite removing these files I still get this error. It looks like onedrive is still syncing my other files but how do I get rid of this error? I have double checked on my synced computer and onedrive online and these file are no longer in my onedrive account.


So far I have:


-Deleted these files from my computer's onedrive locally, onedrive online (via web browser), and the onedrive recycle bin (via web browser)

-Disconnected and reconnected my computer to onedrive


Still no luck getting rid of this error message.


Any thoughts?


Thanks!
