[BUG]: Initial sync with empty AnkiWeb account asks which collection to keep #14219

Description

Checked for duplicates?

  • This issue is not a duplicate

What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

  1. Load a deck into AnkiDroid and study
  2. Create a new AnkiWeb account. It has no collections
  3. Sync in AnkiDroid. Add email/password

Expected behaviour

Since the AnkiWeb account is completely empty, AnkiDroid should simply sync to it.

Actual behaviour

AnkiDroid says:

Select collection to keep

The collections can't be combined
Which collection do you want to keep
Cancel AnkiWeb AnkiDroid

Isn't AnkiDroid able to work out that AnkiWeb is completely empty and sync without asking for this prompt?
