Thanks for your post.

Issue 2287 – Record local file removals when synchronizing in .NET assembly and scripting
You can vote for it there.

It also links to some possible workarounds.

I have a Windows 11 batch file running WinSCP and performing a synchronize local operation. I'm recording the activity in an XML log. I'm also using the -delete flag for the synchronize command. I can see information about downloaded files in the resultant XML log file, but not those deleted locally because they don't exist in the remote folder. Is there a way to include the information about those files in the XML log?

If this information is not available, why not? I think that would be useful, as I want to produce a report from the XML data about what happened related to the synchronization operation. The knowledge that local files were deleted (I would think) would be of use. Thank you for your help.
