Description

Lets have a mergin project and its local copy on a disc. Either
a) a mergin project has been deleted from a web,
b) a local copy has been deleted from a disk,
a localProjects/<namespace>/<name> is kept in QSettings.

Therefore in a case a) it is causing a problem of uploading the same project folder back on Mergin as a new project (not sure if a bug or feature) due to having .mergin folder and probably a QSettings variable. It may cause other weird, but rather edge use cases issues.
