Deleted Empty Directories Reappear

The previous post, 3 years ago, dealt with a direct command - rmdirs and this deals with deleting from a GUI using rclone mount.

well, in your previous post, you appear to comment of the same exact issue?

@wanderer

Using rclone mount Windows explorer GUI or rclone command line, I cannot remove these directories. With the GUI, the directories remove (from the Windows Explorer GUI) for a few minutes and then reappear a few minutes later.

and i think i explained that exact same to you back three year ago.

@asdffdsa

on a rclone mount, even stranger behavior.

• rclone will appear create an empty dir but in the local dircache, not in the backend.
  only if you copy a real file to that virtual dir, will rclone create both the dir and file in the backend.
• rclone will appear to delete an empty dir created by another app but after --dir-cache-time expires, that deleted empty dir will reappear. rclone deletes that empty dir from the local dircache not from the backend and when rclone refreshes the dircache, the dir reappears
