### Bug description

I currently have 600MB of logs in my `.config/Nextcloud/logs/` directory. There are 132 log files from **today**.

Not sure if this is related to the failed migration from ~/.local/share/Nextcloud/ (#6201).

The desktop client is started on login and runs successfully.

### Expected behavior

I cannot remember that I had 600MB of logs in any directory.
