Delete original file after auto upload doesn't work anymore / re-uploading

⚠️ Before posting ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
• I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
• I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a file (e.g. shoot a photo) in a folder that has Auto Upload and "Delete Original File" checked.
2. File is auto-uploaded but NOT deleted on Android device
3. Move file out of designated auto upload target folder in Nextcloud account
4. File gets uploaded again ...

Expected behaviour

After auto upload, the original file should be deleted - just as the option checkbox promises to do. This was working fine in the previous version.

Actual behaviour

Files are not deleted after auto upload. Some of them get re-uploaded after moving the uploads out of the auto upload target.

Interestingly, the upload part of the bug is not consistent. No files are deleted, but only some are uploaded again and again.

I can confirm this. Back to latest 3.21 version works perfectly.
3.22 version breaks moving or deleting from source folders.
I have NC Server v25 Stable.

BTW: PocoF3, Android 13 (evolutionX rom). I think this no matter now.

My issue #10878 probably related. It seems theres something wrong in gerneral with sync at the moment.

Also can confirm. Worked fine on 3.21 broken in 3.22.

Server is latest as of this post.
Phone pixel 6
Rom stock android 13 beta (Oct 2022 release)

All this behavior, included the issue mentioned by @MadMakz, seems the options related to original files are swapped.
In my case I use "move to nc folder" wich performs the actions related to "keep in original folder", and this last one (as you told us) moves the files to nc data folder.
So crazy.....

i can confirm, deleting after upload is broken

The "Keep original file" seems just as broken: it creates a copy in the app folder, leaving me with 2 versions of the same photo. Instead of what I would expect: just one in my original camera folder.

For me that leads to even having multiple copies uploaded. In the Upload window of the nextcloud Client App I See a message that says "Error when locking the folder"(or similar... I have the German app and it says "Fehler beim sperren des Ordners") when a photo was uploaded. I guess this is related to all the issues described here.

Can confirm @Mirkbot, see #10878 (comment)

[FALErwi]

I can confirm this bug and #10878

Confirm this is not working correctly. Android App version 3.22.1, server version 24.0.6

I confirm this behaviour as well app version 3.22.1, server version 24.0.6

It is affecting as well Nextcloud Android 3.22.2, I have just upgraded to that version from Play Store and it does not work as expected either.
