What's Wrong?

The Edit tool throws an EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir error when editing files in v2.1.69. This did not occur in previous versions. The affected path is a OneDrive directory. Maybe possible the spaces in the path name are a contributing factor?

What Should Happen?

Claude is able to successfully edit the file.
