Sync Resources: Syncing of files does not delete additional files

[vkWeb]

Observed behavior

When files are synced through channel sync functionality, additional files in a copied node are not getting deleted.

For example, if in original node we have just a EPUB document, we copy the original node, add a PDF document to copied node. Upon, syncing the copied node still has the PDF document. Ummm, is this expected behaviour @rtibbles?

The example is of a document file type but this issue applies to all file type that supports multiple file uploads like mp4, mp3.

Expected behavior

Additional files in a copied node should get deleted.

User-facing consequences

Additional user storage or maybe wrong notion of syncing.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Upload a EPUB document.
2. Copy the above created node.
3. Add PDF document to the copied node.
4. Sync the channel with file information ticked.
5. The copied node still has the PDF document.

@vkWeb I don't believe this is the expected behavior

@bjester yes I feel the same that this should not be the expected behaviour.

So, the expected behaviour should be that the copied node has the exact same files as that of the original node...?

This seems correct to me.
