Comes from: https://github.com/owncloud/ios-app/pull/662#issuecomment-652534684. Probably, this is an internal matter of Files App. just to track the problem, in case any solution is posible:
- Open Files app
- Create a folder with the same name as an existing file -> notification pops up
- Click notification -> redirected to the app
- Solve problem in the app (folder is cancelled)
- Switch again to Files app
Current: Folder created en 2. and cancelled in 5. is not removed from Files App:
