What's Wrong?

When I renamed the project from PROJECT1 to YELLOW, it created the new directory named yellow and deleted the old directory. However, the metadata of both the projects are visible in .claude/projects/ that shows I have 2 projects

What Should Happen?

Renaming the project should check and rename on all relevant locations.
Same for the deletion.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new folder set it as project called project1. Not ask claude to rename project to project75. It will do so. But project1 will remain in .claude/projects/ and will always show as project
