### Bug description

With the last updates of the desktop client, I am receiving sync errors that the file cannot be synced as it has been deleted earlier, so I have to delete it manually.

### Steps to reproduce

1. User deletes a file through webUI
2. Syncing through desktop client results the error "Temporary error when removing local item removed from server."
5. User has to delete it manually from the list of files in the File Browser in order the syncing can be restarted.

### Expected behavior

Syncing has to work seamlessly, so the file has to be deleted locally during sync operation if it has been deleted through webUI remotely.
