ente-auth: seg fault on startup: PathAccessException: Deletion failed

[prasannavl]

Summary

• Segfault on startup.
• Seems it's looking for a file in cache that doesn't exit and attempting to delete it and failing on startup.

Notes

• Created a fresh new account.
• Did an import. (aside: zenity appears to be a dependency that's needed for file import or will silently fail - but this is a different bug)
• Everything worked.
• Closed. Opened again. Won't start anymore.
• Scanned through the user cache for ente related files in $HOME/.cache - couldn't find any.

Stack trace from dump

• Had a core dump from the trace ready to go, so attaching, however don't suppose this is helpful as it just points to the main gtk msg loop thread as everything is rendered and handled by flutter runtime.
