Description

Expected behaviour

Currently there isn't a way to know original path of deleted files and folders. As such, if one has many and or some with the same names, one cannot tell what is what.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

I suggest removing restore and delete icons in each row. This is not the web and one doesn't need to match web UX.

Files iOS app uses swipe actions to delete and restore. One can also long hold on a row to get a context menu with options such as a details label. Files iOS details panel doesn't show original path though i think with Nextcloud it would be helpful. Screenshots:

Research direction

Start from the deleted files screen in the iOS app and compare its current behavior with the screenshots and suggestions in the issue. The work is done when deleted files and folders expose their original paths and the proposed restore, delete, swipe, or context-menu behavior is implemented consistently.
