Description

It would be great if deleting the local folder contents were possible again. It would be conceivable to delete all folder contents per account or to offer an option in the folder itself.

This was possible in the old version and is totally helpful. Because you don't always want to have the data of an archive folder on your mobile device, then you download it briefly and then delete the local data again.

The old Option (Delete all data (Caution!!!)): https://www.internet-tipps.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/K9-Konto-Optionen.png

Research direction

The issue names no implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the folder and account settings screens and any existing local-data deletion behavior, then confirm whether deletion should be available per folder, per account, or both. Done means the agreed option works without ambiguity and has coverage for the selected scope.
