Prevent OneDrive from deleting files from a computer?

There is cloud storage in OneDrive that is synchronized with the computer. Can I make it so that when I delete files from OneDrive, it doesn't automatically delete files from a folder on my computer? A complete stop of synchronization is not of interest. This is done for security purposes, if suddenly the cloud storage is hacked, so that a copy of the files still remains on the computer.
I repeat, all the synchronization functionality except for deleting files from the computer is needed.
Many thanks for the good advice.

Run as a separate user with reduced permissions to delete. But this is a utopia, because no one will prevent an attacker from overwriting your files with zero under the guise of synchronization.
Total - if you want security - keep a separate incremental backup elsewhere.
