1708 Sync to device can fail to delete old playlists [#5531]

I wonder if it is path sensitive. Here the path is S:\!DJ DAP\1 Synced from MM.

I just tried your C:\Folder NH, and got the same failure. Detailed steps added to OP.

Before sync: Playlists directory:



And auto-sync set:



After sync: Playlists directory:
