I deleted some files on the SD card from the PC while in the card reader, and 
the A7iii had problems with the card. It seems to keep a separate index. I 
think there is a resync function.

Now I double check I have copied all the files from the card, then I use the in 
camera Format to erase the card. Probably an old habit where flash memory had 
fragmentation issues when deleting images directly.
