Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: Windows 10, Nextcloud Desktop Client 3.15.3

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Today I struggled to find the option to delete an account to set it up anew: I was in the settings version of the UI. There you can select the account, but you can't remove it. And there is no way to return to the "Main Window". In the Main Window there is a link to settings.

I think the confusion stems from the two different Nextcloud windows and you can't see how they are related. Moreover, because you can start the settings window from the tray icon.

Describe the solution you'd like
Settings should be opened inside the "main window" so it doesn't look like a whole different app.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe I am too stupid to understand it.

Additional context
I am too stupid for a lot of things.

I do not have a straight answer to your questions. I think it might be a case of 'it was always like this' and we didn't change it.
You do have valid questions :)
I am asking for input from our @nextcloud/designers.
I think what you are suggesting is valid.

After discussing it we think that we or the community could try adding the extra options in this space above the "Standard file sync tab" with a 3 dot menu that would list adding/removing account options:

More details on exactly how this would look like can be discussed once there is a PR for it.

something that could be part of that extra menu would also be a "log-in again" button as mentioned in #3923 (comment)
