### Bug description
The main dialog shows incorrect information about number of files and time left:
### Steps to reproduce
1. Back up sync folder to external drive (using `rsync`)
2. Wipe & reinstall OS
3. Copy back sync folder from external drive (using `rsync`)
4. Install Nextcloud Desktop
5. Authenticate in Nextcloud Desktop
6. Remove reminiscences of the old sync set-up from the sync folder (e.g. `.sync_27406f076ef0.db`)
7. Copy the folder configuration from the old config to the new config file (e.g. `/home/keunes/.config/Nextcloud/`)
8. Wait until sync kicks in
### Expected behavior
When checking existing files, it should probably not give estimations. After a while ('sync' is still running), those wrong fields are gone (it now only says "Syncing changes").
