Orphaned Items
At the moment when I upgrade the database I get a dozen or so orphaned items. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which items get orphaned and the 1,500 or so which don't although I thin it has been the same dozen items every time.
Would you like some feedback on orphan files, and if so, what?

There shouldn't theoretically be orphaned files, but there are probably a few ways there could be—for example if deleting an item failed to delete an in-use file and the item delete still went through.

OK, tried to purge the orphaned-files and got this error
[JavaScript Error: "File not found for item 4017 after extracting ZIP in Zotero.Sync.Storage._processDownload()" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/storage.js" line: 1137}]

The files for which duplicate folders were created in orphaned-files should still be accessible within Zotero, however (since all it was doing was moving the old folder to orphaned-files and then creating a new one in its place). If you're getting a File Not Found message, that's a separate problem.
Thanks as ever
Jon.
