Issue with profile deleting files in attended mode

Syncovery v10.9.7. When I run a profile (Smart Tracking) in Attended Mode and have deleted a file or files, I get the pop-up - “Safety Confirmations Required" (see attached). I have "Warn Before Deleting Files" unchecked on the Attended Mode tab. "Warn if Moving Files (Deleting From Source) *is* checked, but I am not moving files, only deleting. I am not concerned about deleted files, because I have the "Move Deleted Files to a Folder" set on both the Smart Tracking and Files tabs.

Unattended mode works as expected. I also have Enable Special Safety Checks" Unchecked on the Unattended Mode tab.

The only way I can get the attended to run without the message is to uncheck all of the check boxes on the Special Safety tab. I've tried using different percentages in the "Warn if Deleting More Files Than box, 100%, 0% or different percentages, but it doesn't affect the warning "Folders with a large percentage of deletions".

Why does the message occur, even though I'm not using the Special Safety Checks?

Hello,
in Attended Mode, it does not matter if you uncheck the special safety checkmark at the bottom of the Unattended tab sheet.

I agree that these checks are slightly over the top and should be re-considered from the Syncovery side.

I recommend just removing all checkmarks from the Special Safety tab sheet, like you said.
