Hi Oliver, Syncany stores file on the remote FTP in the form of (a) chunks and (b) metadata.
a) The chunks contain the actual content of files. So an mp3-file, for instance, could be distributed over many chunks (filename pattern: chunk-CHUNKID). b) The metadata contains a list of files/folders and filename/chunk-mappings -- so the connection between the chunks and the actual names of the files and folders. In your example, you were talking about folders: folders do not have any content (similar to 0-byte files). So there are no chunks for a folder, only metadata. If you delete an empty folder, the only thing being updated is the metadata. I hope that helps you understand it a bit ...
