Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The delete confirmation dialog is confusing me. I don't know what one of the buttons means or does. The three buttons are labelled "Yes", "Remove locally" and "Cancel". I know what the 2nd and 3rd buttons do, but what does "Yes" mean and do? Is it deleting the remote and local copies, or only the remote copy? I only say this out of frustration, but "Yes" is a bit terse.

This question comes from wondering if I can delete a file in Nextcloud using the iOS app, without deleting my local copy.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think I'd prefer "Yes" to be replaced with text that is more descriptive. Is it being deleted remotely and locally? If so, perhaps something more informative like "Remove locally & remotely". Or whatever you feel is more appropriate.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only option I've considered is the text "Remove locally & remotely". The only other thing that comes to mind is "Remote all copies".
