Orphaned files are not purged

dax7

Zotero was not purging orphaned files. I checked debug output and saw this error.

```
Error: DAV:href '/uAdkCDJL/Zotero/' does not begin with path '/zotero/' Error: DAV:href '/uAdkCDJL/Zotero/' does not begin with path '/zotero/' Zotero.Sync.Storage.Mode.WebDAV.prototype.purgeOrphanedStorageFiles<@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/storage/webdav.js:1064:15 From previous event: runFunc@resource://zotero/concurrentCaller.js:224:22 ConcurrentCaller.prototype._processNext@resource://zotero/concurrentCaller.js:265:3 ConcurrentCaller.prototype.start@resource://zotero/concurrentCaller.js:156:12 serial/<@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/utilities_internal.js:1905:14 Zotero.Sync.Runner_Module/this.setSyncTimeout/callback.notify<@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/sync/syncRunner.js:1005:9
```

This is the relevant code. Why does this method throw error ? While syncing works perfectly with webdav url.

**More details:**

I have webdav server running at `http://127.0.0.1:4443/uAdkCDJL/Zotero/` and it is served with nginx reverse proxy at `https://webdav.lan/zotero`.

Nginx reverse-proxy config

```
location /zotero/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4443/uAdkCDJL/Zotero/;
auth_basic "Admin Area";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/webdav.htpasswd;
client_max_body_size 0;
proxy_read_timeout 1800;
proxy_connect_timeout 1800;
proxy_send_timeout 1800;
send_timeout 1800;
}
```

Please solve this issue or guide me to how to fix this. Thanks.

The 'Zotero' folder on the WebDAV server should be lowercase ('zotero'), since that’s the hardcoded value and what Zotero automatically creates.

Thanks for replying. I still wonder though that synchronization works perfectly. And purge orphaned files method not work.
