Description
I just removed (not just disabled, REMOVED) the Group Folders app from my nextCloud 13 lab, and the "__groupfolders" folder still exists. But it is in-fact empty.
This should be removed when removing the app, at least when the folder is completely empty.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Group Folders app's removal handling and how it manages the __groupfolders folder. Verify that uninstalling removes the folder when it is empty while preserving it when it contains files, then check the relevant tests or add coverage for both cases.
