I thought I was seeing things the last time I did this, but I noticed it again.

Tonight I did a test for Gigabar Beta development. Did a full backup, then hard reset my E-125. Installed Gigabar 1.91. Test over. Time to rebuild.

Restored the full backup. Deleted the "reset sync" files from teh root directory (probably not supposed to do that, but...). Synced with the desktop. It had to "resync" all the Outlook data, files, blah blah blah. Okay. Well enough.

On teh second sync, it seemed to delete all the personal files from the Files. WCESMGR.LOG is full of DeleteObjectOnDesktop events. Chock full'a them.

On the third sync, the files reappeared on the desktop.

I cannot fathom why AS does this @*#&. Anyone else noticed this, and if so, have a clue why?
