TIL there's no endpoint to remove global account data, and one can only reset them to default values 🥴
Anyhow, thanks, the patch looks good.

Any chance we could use a plain ? here, since this function returns a Result type anyways?

As the recovery module has a specialized error type we can't just use ? to convert the error. We either need to add a error variant for this or muck it somewhere into the matrix_sdk::Error type.
But I don't think it makes much sense, serializing the default event content should never fail.

Makes sense to keep it like this, then 👍

Oh my god, you can't upload the empty content? Good thing I made an integration test. |

Sounds reasonable. Do we need to delete (or overwrite with empty JSONs) the room keys too?

As an aside, I think that referring to account data as an "event" which can be "deleted" or changed in any way, is a confusing anti-pattern. One of the defining properties of an "event" in most environments is that it's something that happened in the past, so changing it is nonsense.
(I know that the spec uses that term, but I'd like that to change (matrix-org/matrix-spec#2030), and we can avoid spreading the mess any further in the meantime.)

So, what should we call them?

"Account data". Or possibly, "Account data entries".
