Hi, I use Google Drive FileStream instead of Backup & Sync, so I'm not totally familiar with the intricacies of the Backup & Sync service,. Google Drive FileStream is only available to G Suite for Education or G Suite for Business, thus it's not an option for you. That all being said, there's two places to check things. First, is in the Backup & Sync Extras menu, under Preferences. The second is in Safari or Chrome browser, in Drive under Settings. I believe that there's a computers item there that may be a factor. Normally, it should just delete from the web or Cloud version of drive at the same time as you delete from your Mac, so something is being uncooperative. Take a look at this YouTube help link. I believe he has the info you need in his tutorials.

Note that you don[t need to use Chrome as he does, Safari will suffice. Later...
