Hazel Rules not working on cloud storage as expected

Hi Noodle - Community

I have many hazel rules cleaning and sorting my Mac. I recently noticed, that one of my rules is failing.

- All email attachments will be stored by power Automate into a one drive directory (cloud)
- hazel is checking that network folder and drops garbage (small files, PNGs etc)
- PDFs and some other files are moved into another directory for further sorting or analysis.

Steps two and three do not work anymore since hazel cannot delete the files anymore (action "move" is not possible). The log shows this message:

"2024-11-23 22:18:18.589 hazelworker[45845] mzwrOfxXuyuyczyl.png: Rule Any other File matched.
2024-11-23 22:18:18.615 hazelworker[45845] [Error] Move failed: Could not move file mzwrOfxXuyuyczyl.png from folder /Users/XXXXX/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-XXXXX/_swapfiles to folder /Users/XXXXX/.Trash."

Hazel has full disk access. OS is MacOS Sequoia 15.x

Same issue btw with other cloud services like iCloud.

Do you have any idea how to solve?
Thanks.

stupid me. The same second I posted this I found the answer: The one drive app was re-installed and I didn't switch to keep this directory local, so all files where available in the cloud only.
Now it works - please forget the request (I just leave it there for anyone with the same issue).
