(the nodes with the issue were on the same home network; the third node is a computer in a remote location)\r\n\r\nPossibly related, since I hadn't made any other recent configuration changes:\r\nI was having an issue similar to [885](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/885) in two folders that were being synchronized. There were several temp files with long hashtag filenames that I deleted in several subfolders in one of the synced folders, which I don't think helped. I then tried the solution [mentioned by AudriusButkevicius](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/885#issuecomment-68633368), which appeared to work. I used it for two different synced folders since I was getting errors for both of them, and the long filename puller errors stopped.\r\n\r\nHowever, I later noticed I was getting another error for one of the folders, something about not being able to delete a file. Going back into the directory it appeared that the one of them (but not the other) was now entirely emptied of contents. I filled it back up using a backup and took out the \"\\\\?\\\" prefix from the file headers. (in fact I think I had to recreate the folder info since I was having trouble clicking the \"save\" button for no reason)\r\n\r\nI later realized that another directory had been emptied as well, although I had never tried the \"\\\\?\\\" trick for this one. This directory was similarly emptied on two computers but not the remote third computer."}}
