Abstract

The disclosed technology relates to a system configured to detect a delete event for a content item at a first location on a local file system of a client device, wherein the first location on the file system is managed by a content management service. The system determines a second location for the content item and whether the delete event is associated with an add event for the content item based on the second location of the content item. If the delete event is associated with the add event, the system processes the delete event with the add event in a unitary update to a local tree, wherein the local tree represents a file system state.
