Ok, it seems so that my instance deletes its configuration itself…

But I think that needs a word on my configuration:
~/Documents is synced with my Nextcloud intance
I have setup XDG_DATA and XDG_CONFIG to be on
~/Documents/XDG/$hostname/{XDG_DATA XDG_CONFIG}
(to be able to share XDG configurations files on complicant apps more easy
between PCs)

~/Documents/XDG/isildor/XDG_CONFIG/Nextcloud is a symlink to ~/.config/Nextcloud
 (so it is not on the share)

It seems that nextcloud app is deleting that file, (following the symlink)

Of course this could be a read herring, as I naively tried to reconfigure 
the nextcloud without deleting Documents and I just got conflict everywhere now.

It is possible the the app is following the symlink and thinks, hey , file not
on the nextcloud server, delete it… Could be another bug though; (I guess it
should not follow symlinks, at least it used to ignore symlinks when syncing to
servers)

Next step I'll try a fresh resync…
