Description

### ⚠️ Before posting ⚠️

- [x] This is a **bug**, not a question or an enhancement.
- [x] I've [searched for similar issues](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues) and didn't find a duplicate.
- [x] I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
- [x] I agree to follow Nextcloud's [Code of Conduct](https://nextcloud.com/contribute/code-of-conduct/).

### Steps to reproduce

1. Clock on the icon top right in the android app.
2. In the dialogue box that pops up click "Manage accounts"
3. In the list of accounts that shows up, click on the three dots on the right, select remove account.

A box pops up with a check box:

"Remove local account. Remove account from device and all local files"

It's not possible to remove a next cloud account without checking this radio button. *BUT* There's no way to be sure what is being deleted. If a photo has been added to nextcloud via the android app, will that photo be deleted from the local devices photos directory?

### Expected behaviour

It would be useful if there was an option to "read more" or similar to see exactly what files are going to be removed. Or an option to leave the data on the device.

### Actual behaviour

You must delete all local files to remove a nextcloud account, without being able to know what those files are.
