This behavior is consistent with legitimate OneDrive update and maintenance routines that clean up old installation artifacts or cached data.\n\n**IOC Analysis:** The binary C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe is a known-good Microsoft system binary and is digitally signed. The target path \u0027C:\\Users\\pjhow\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\26.032.0217.0003\u0027 corresponds to a specific versioned directory of Microsoft OneDrive, which is standard for per-user installations.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\udd16 qwen3.5:4b Analysis (Secondary)\n**Verdict:** false_positive | **Confidence:** 0.95\nThis detection is a false positive because cmd.exe is a legitimate Windows system binary running from its expected location in System32, and the command targets a OneDrive folder which is a common user application directory.\n\n**IOC Analysis:** The process cmd.exe (PID 8684) is a known-good Microsoft-signed binary located at C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe. The parent process Explorer.EXE is also legitimate. The command uses rmdir to remove a OneDrive folder, which is a standard user operation that may be triggered by legitimate cleanup tools or user actions.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\udd16 deepseek-r1:8b Analysis (Secondary)\n**Verdict:** false_positive | **Confidence:** 0.9\nThe detection event involves cmd.exe deleting a OneDrive directory, but cmd.exe is a legitimate system binary located in C:\\Windows\\System32. The action appears to be part of normal OneDrive operations, consistent with false positive history for this rule.\n\n**IOC Analysis:** FILE_PATH: C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe is a known Windows system binary, expected in this location. HASH: The hash matches a legitimate Microsoft-signed binary. FILE_IS_SIGNED: Confirms the binary is signed, reducing malicious intent. The command targets a OneDrive cache directory, which is common for updates and thus benign.",
