Research direction

Reproduce the Windows 11 scenario with Nextcloud Desktop Client 3.10.0: create newfolder in dir1, move the remaining files into it, then check the client, web interface, and Recycle bin. Trace the Windows client’s handling of the move sequence and verify that the files remain in newfolder and are no longer listed as deleted.
