In the Activity Log, what is the random Agent deletion entries for SQL Clone?

• 
  Hi, thank you for your forum post.
  
  I believe I provided this answer to you via a Redgate Support ticket as follows:
  
  To answer your question:
  

  I am just looking for clarification as to what this is deleting?

   
  From the screen shot:
   
  
   
  The items successfully deleted items are all Clones.  I come to this answer as icon to the left of the blacked out server name indicates a Clone.
   
  There is a different icon if an image was deleted or created, as per the example my screen shot below:
   
  
   
  There are two methods for deleting clones (and images), the manual method via the Web UI and selecting the clone or image to delete.  Or via an automation job using the PowerShell cmdlets to delete clones or images or both.
   
  Further information regarding SQL Clone can be found in the help documentation:
  https://documentation.red-gate.com/clone
   
  Plus there are Redgate University video courses to help you understand how to use SQL Clone:

  We've seen the same activity...
  Those activities are appearing when we're restarting the SQL Clone service on our Agents.
  Especially mentioning 'Agent x' and not the service account who was deleting the clones.
  So this activity is not created by deleting clones (via GUI or Powershell)!
  FYI: deleting clones via Powershell scripts, will give a service account in this activity screen.
  
  All logs of this strange activity : "Handling server side fallback for operation DropCloneOperation."
  And not really doing deletes... (luckily) 
  So I assume it's only a kind of sync between Agent(s) and SQL Clone server?
