If you've excluded them, sync won't remove them as you've excluded them.

Idk, I see this in logs:

2024/06/30 21:40:33 INFO  : cache/updates/1.95.3.175-dd94cbd1: Removing directory

And it removes files in excluded folders, but not the folders (despite saying that it does that in logs)

Looks like permissions:

No idea why rclone shows this "access is denied" error, I have all rights to destination folder and can remove it without any error.
