Hazel deletes files I still need

Hi,
I've been using Hazel to automate folder cleanup for a while, but sometimes it deletes files I still need. I've tried adjusting the rules, but there's always one that slips through the net.
Is this happening to anyone else?

Thanks for the advice! I followed the troubleshooting guide you provided, and it helped me identify an issue with one of my rules that was set too broadly. After adjusting the conditions, Hazel is now working perfectly and no longer deletes the wrong files.
