Description

Hi.
It would be good to delete all files and folders when deleting a connection to a server folder in the setting: "Delete folder synchronization connection".
Indeed, when I delete a connection, it is because I no longer want to have access to the files/folders of this share.
Thanks.

Research direction

Start by locating the "Delete folder synchronization connection" setting and the VFS connection-deletion flow in the desktop client. Trace what happens to the synchronized files and folders when the connection is removed, then define the deletion behavior and verify that removing a connection also removes the share's local files and folders.
