Please describe.** No **Describe the solution you'd like** Enhance the settings experience: for account add the option to 1) remove the account **Describe alternatives you've considered** Currently account remove is available in the left click menu / click account / click kebab menu and select "Remove account". I would expect this option in the settings dialog. **Additional context** Also moving the accounts sync folder could be added under settings account

and the manual is outdated as well, so even people willing to get information there have no chance finding it:

github.com/nextcloud/documentation

Desktop user manual not up to date

### Before You Submit - [x] I have checked for existing issues and pull request…s related to my suggestion. - [ ] I have posted on the [Nextcloud Community Help Forum](https://help.nextcloud.com) if my suggestion is a troubleshooting scenario or I'm unsure about the solution. ### Type of Suggestion Suggesting an improvement ### Relevant Documentation Links https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/desktop/usage.html ### Summary Screenshots and menus are outdated ### Details The GUI and with it the user experience has changed a lot for the clients NC 33 and NC 34. This is not well addressed in the usage page that addresses all normal users, they are left confused how to add another account and other basic tasks. And an outdated documentation makes it hard for them to get the issue solved by themselves. This topic is similar, but just covers macOS: https://github.com/nextcloud/documentation/issues/14158 example for confusion: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/desktop-client-windows-lacks-menu-and-configuration-options/248266/9 ### Additional Notes _No response_
