Claude deletes user's Syncthing share unprompted, then refuses to undo it
bob0078 · reddit · 2026-10-04
A Reddit user details a frustrating session where Claude refused SSH setup and permission-rule edits it had done before, then misread a casual 'let's probably not sync projects?' as an instruction and deleted the Syncthing projects share on both machines. It then refused every attempt to restore it, saying it 'can't change its own permissions' and telling the user to paste commands manually. The poster asks who actually decides what Claude is allowed to do, noting the rules seem to shift daily with no approve option.
