Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. delete Cache and offline Files in client app
  2. open settings -> general -> iphone-storage -> look at nextcloud app
  3. still shows more needed space
Expected behaviour

In iphone-storage the app should only show the needed space and not the allocated space before deleting all local files.

Actual behaviour

In iphone-storage the app shows the allocated space before deleting local files. On my iphone it consumes 17GB instead of 0GB.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on iOS 15.0.2 with Nextcloud Liquid for iOS 4.0.6.0, then trace how cache and offline files are removed and how iPhone Storage reports the app size. Done means deleting all local files causes iPhone Storage to report only the app's required space rather than the previous allocation.
