I have used this feature for RAG ingestion, but when I go to "sync" it tells me it's going to delete the entire knowledge base and recreate it from scratch from the files in the directory. This is not what I would call "syncing".

What is the difference between syncing a directory and just deleting the old knowledge base and adding a new one pointing at the same source?

The Open WebUI documentation does not describe Sync Directory at all and I have not found any other discussions about it.
