As a reminder, I think apps shouldn't be able to add -- and therefore users shouldn't be able to remove -- Online Accounts plug-ins in the first place. <https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg09520.html> Two of the benefits of that approach would be that neither of the problems described here would occur: they wouldn't show up in the "Storage" app list (because they'd be part of the OS), and you wouldn't have to worry about what happens when they're uninstalled.

That said, the list of apps in "Storage" really is for apps. The only reason it doesn't have an explicit "Used by apps:" label is that "Used by apps" is already the last item in the chart legend. Dash scopes can reasonably be classed as apps (moreso with new Dash designs in the works), but Online Accounts plug-ins can't be. The most sensible category for them is "Other files". Specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice?action=diff&rev2=32&rev1=31>
