They were valid at one point, but something got “stuck” along the way. Can’t find anything when searching for how others solved it and haven’t seen it anywhere else. Just popped up w/ this particular 8.1 machine w/ some docs. The laptop thinks they exist and are waiting on something from the server. The server has no knowledge of them. And you can only see them through the metro app, not through anything else.

Just an odd issue.

Oh, I had not heard of these phantom files.

It’s constantly in a state of syncing and no amount of resetting or running the troubleshooter helps. I haven’t messed with it heavily just because I’m due for a new laptop soon, but definitely annoying. I’ll file this away in case I have issues w/ Windows 10. Looking forward to the return of placeholders in the next major update.
