Description

Currently, when the savecube function fails for some reason, it can still create the dimension folder and the parent folder.
This leads to the generation of broken zarr data.
I would expect that the savecube function would cleanup after an error, so that it wouldn't construct corrupted zarr files.

Research direction

Start by tracing the savecube function and its mapCube path to identify where the dimension and parent folders are created. Reproduce a save failure, then verify that the created folders and partial Zarr data are removed and that successful saves still work.
