I signed up to the forum looking for an answer to this exact problem I have. My use case is different but the same frustration with how this is designed to work. As Helen mentioned, this does appear to work differently on desktops. I have a mac and windows machine synced up and once I delete a file from one folder, it gets propagated to the other machine. This works by anyway I delete the file. This is the behavior I was expecting on the mobile device. I have been using one drive and dropbox to handle my mobile syncing but wanted to automate something so I thought I'd try out resilio sync. My use case is as below (different than the OP but the same problem) I have a scheduled task that gets new videos from a youtube channel, converts them to mp3, and then moves them to a synced folder (previously this was dropbox), send myself an email that new episodes are available. I now am able to download the files directly to my android device which is mapped to a folder that my podcast application monitors. I get to enjoy the podcast/youtube video on my commute and once it's played, the application deletes the file (after 24 hours) This unfortunately does not work because the file is deleted by the app and not in resilio sync so I have no idea what I have already played and what i have not listened to. This could easily be a flag for mobile devices, the place holder feature is nice but we need to be able to delete since it is monitoring a folder and resync. Perhaps make the flag choose the mobile device as the Parent or Master folder. Otherwise, I might as well use dropbox instead.
