Additional information

Basically, that’s it. It’s 100% reproducible for me, with notes and canvases.

It is not reproducible outside Obsidian, i.e. if I manually create the file and then delete it from Finder, it’s properly moved to Bin.

This is a problem of onedrive and we have no control over it. Sorry!

You could try instead of sending the file to recycle bin to sent it to obsidian .trash folde, maybe it helps.
