### Bug description
During startup, the following warning is logged: `nextcloud[2402]: nextcloud.gui.application: Failed to move the old config directory to its new location ( "/home/xxxxxxx/.local/share/Nextcloud" to "/home/xxxxxxx/.config/Nextcloud" )`
I believe this is an invalid warning since my `~/.config/Nextcloud` directory already contains `nextcloud.cfg` and a series of monthly backups. The directory `~/.local/share/Nextcloud` does not contain `nextcloud.cfg` but does contain a `*_sync.log` file for each folder sync connection. There is also a `*_sync.log` file for each folder sync connection under `~/.config/Nextcloud` but these no longer appear to be up-to-date compared to those under `~/.local/share/Nextcloud`. Is it possible that the `*_sync.log` files in `~/.config/Nextcloud` are OBE and need to be removed? The Desktop Client appears to work at this point but I would have no way to know if the cause of this warning would eventually lead to a break in client functionality.
### Steps to reproduce
Start the Nextcloud Client and view the message in the system log.
### Expected behavior
The message should either correctly state the condition it is warning about or not be generated.
