Is `nuke` really necessary ?

The nuke option seems very unsafe. I saw in the code that there is a double-check, but it seems very risky to have this as a command. What is the use case for it ?

when you want to empty you cloud account for some reason, like not wanting to use the cloud anymore (after unlinking first), or just plain testing

Lol, I thought it meant it would nuke all rmapi settings. Like your .rmtree, .rmapi files and other cached and stored stuff.

Was surprised to see that after I ran it my cloud was empty.

Made a backup quickly before allowing my tablet to sync but ugh.. The description needs to be clearer about what it's going to nuke in my opinion.

That's what I meant by using "dangerous". If someone really wants to clear the cloud they can delete every folder (it's not that hard). To be honest, I feel like this is a fun feature to implement as a developer, but will cause more harm than good in the long run 🤷‍♀️.
