3 years ago looping in @tobiasKaminsky and @nextcloud/designers or @jancborchardt - I'd think this makes sense and would say that we auto-remove such entries in case the local folder on the device doesn't exist anymore.

3 years ago I'd be cautious about auto-remove When restarting a device I have noticed that sometimes the SD card can take time to be recognised. If NC Client starts & detects the folders are "missing" before the card's ready, that might create a problem.

3 years ago Yes, good point 👍 So no auto remove then

2 years ago So it really is not possible to remove autoupload folders? I recently created a few autoupload folders manually and I can not find a possibility to remove the either. What's up with that? Is there really no chance of deleting them? Or do I have to remove the app completely, delete all its settings and start over again? O_o

2 years ago Oh, I see. There is a delete button for some autoupload folders but not for all. I want to delete the autoupload for my camera, videos and screenshots because there are not working anymore. And then I want to setup them again. But I can not delete them.

The button is only there for the manually created ones (called custom folders, see the folder-star icon)

These are then the ones with cam/video icons in the list and are auto detected folders. From what I understood they have been "restored" by Google since you had them on an older device and now switched to a new one. Right?' These for now, can't be deleted since this hasn't been implemented (yet).
So if anybody would be up for providing a PR for it then I am sure the devs would be looking into it and get it merged.

Not only that, these are also folders from the previous installation of the application.

Not a new phone, just a fresh install after uninstall. I can't find any way to remove them.

Just to add, from my point of view - I don't have a Google account / older device, so this is all on a shiny, brand-new, install with no "recovery" data...
(& where I referred to "other phones", that was referring to other family members...)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After installing an app (ie another camera app), NC Client finds the folder that the camera app used to store photos (nice, thanks). I don't like the app, so uninstall it and manually delete the folder that it used. I cannot remove that folder from the autoupload list within NC Client
I can see from other phones that NC Client has created sync points for Twitter, Instagram, Facebook (etc), where they would never want to upload those entries to NC
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow autoupload to remove / delete a sync point (especially if that folder doesn't exist).
Describe alternatives you've considered
"Hiding" the folder, which - (for others, this means hiding ~10 folders) - unknown is what that is doing internally (ie continuous errors retrying to find the folder?)
