Description
I have noticed that when I have dehydrated placeholder documents, on uninstall, these disappear, but the directory structure remains
Is there some way to configure these placeholder folders to be removed on uninstall too?
Its a problem because when updating the app, the fileidentity information is removed making it difficult to resynchronize
