I will say that in the next release this will be a deprecated (removed) capability. It has been a fiddlesome feature.

Thx Rick, It’s done... after 46 hours to sync from local desktop onedrive app to the cloud.

To fix this issue just need to download all the files back to the local computer and delete the ‘Veeam Backup’ folder manually on local disk, then let the new hierarchy sync to onedrive.

It takes me 46 hours for all 495,277 file changes take effect, thank GOD!

 

Good luck for others until this feature is deprecated.
