Bug description

Hello there 👋

It seems like the client refuses to keep its Nextcloud_sync.log file in the /home/[user]/.config/Nextcloud directory. No matter what I do, the client keeps re-creating its log file in .local/share/Nextcloud, even after total directory deletion.

Steps to reproduce

1. Delete the old .local/share/Nextcloud directory
2. Start Nextcloud
3. Everything starts correctly (no output error), but the .local/share/Nextcloud is recreated with the Nextcloud_sync.log
4. Restart Nextcloud, this output shows up :

nextcloud.gui.application: Migrating old config from "/home/[user]/.local/share/Nextcloud" to "/home/[user]/.config/Nextcloud"
nextcloud.gui.application: Failed to move the old config directory to its new location ( "/home/[user]/.local/share/Nextcloud" to "/home/[user]/.config/Nextcloud" )
nextcloud.gui.application: Will move the individual files ("Nextcloud_sync.log")

6. Everything starts correctly, a new Nextcloud_sync.log is created in .config/Nextcloud, but only the one in .local/share/Nextcloud gets updated
7. Restart Nextcloud, this output shows up :

nextcloud.gui.application: Migrating old config from "/home/[user]/.local/share/Nextcloud" to "/home/[user]/.config/Nextcloud"
nextcloud.gui.application: Failed to move the old config directory to its new location ( "/home/[user]/.local/share/Nextcloud" to "/home/[user]/.config/Nextcloud" )
nextcloud.gui.application: Will move the individual files ("Nextcloud_sync.log")
nextcloud.gui.application: Fallback move of  "Nextcloud_sync.log" also failed

8. Everything starts correctly, the .local/share/Nextcloud_sync.log gets updated, the .config/Nextcloud one is left abandoned, without being updated
9. Rinse and repeat

Expected behavior

I think the log file should now be .config/Nextcloud/Nextcloud_sync.log, the .local/share/Nextcloud one should not be recreated if it doesn't exist anymore.
