Deleted passwords not syncing

I have Firefox on 3 devices, I deleted several passwords from 1 device expecting this change to sync to the other 2 devices. Instead for several days the 2 devices showed the original number of passwords whilst the device I made the changes on showed the new amount. Now that device appears to have resynced the passwords I deleted. Am I supposed to delete them on each device?

I have the latest version of FF on all devices.

On which device did you create those logins initially since if you delete a login coming from Sync on a device then it may not remove it from other devices?

You will have to remove the login manually of the other devices.

Passwords would've been created & stored on all the devices. I have turned off password sync for now & will delete manually. Thanks for your help!
