This feels like when my brother backed up a file with Onedrive, then figured he could delete the original... the one that Onedrive was keeping track of.

It's not that these aren't confusing, but why risk your file without testing what the software will do first? Especially before hitting anything like "delete" or "discard"?

See, that's a mistake I could see myself making. I would just assume that OneDrive was making a backup, not tracking the file.
