Hi,
The files in the Conflict and Deleted folder are renamed and are accessible only by members of the local Administrators group. The access control lists (ACLs) on the conflict files are preserved to help ensure security. You can view a log of conflict files, as well as their original file names, by viewing the ConflictandDeletedManifest.xml file in the DfsrPrivate folder.
The Conflict and Deleted folder can also be used to store files that are deleted from replicated folders. You can configure this option by viewing the properties of a membership. Deleted files are treated like conflict files in that they are purged when the Conflict and Deleted folder reaches 90 percent of the configured quota. They are also renamed and listed in the ConflictandDeletedManifest.xml file.Reference:
Staging folders and Conflict and Deleted foldersYou should create a diagnostics health report to check the status of your DFS replication.
The ConflictAndDeleted folder size may exceed its configured limitation in Windows Server
