### Bug description

When a synced directory is renamed in the nextcloud there is a sync issue that can not be resolved.

### Steps to reproduce

1. sync a directory
2. rename it in the web interface
3. look at the desktop client and the caused issue

### Expected behavior

When changing the name I either expect it to automatically adapt that or to give me an option to reselect the nextcloud dir without having to do a complete resync.

### Operating system

Debian and Windows (both have the issue)

### Package

Official Windows MSI or app image

### Nextcloud Server version

30.x.x

### Nextcloud Desktop Client version

3.16.4

### Is this bug present after an update or on a fresh install?

Fresh desktop client install

### Are you using the Nextcloud Server Encryption module?

Encryption is Enabled

### Are you using an external user-backend?

- [x] Default internal user-backend
- [ ] LDAP/ Active Directory
- [ ] SSO - SAML
- [ ] Other
