Description
🐛 bug report
Preflight Checklist
- I have read the [Contributing Guidelines][contributing] for this project.
- I agree to follow the [Code of Conduct][code_of_conduct] that this project
adheres to. - I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want
to file, without success.
Description of the problem
I discovered that clicking through to a Sandbox version of a proven example app doesn't load and shows compile errors.
On further investigation it seems the version of Sandbox code is somehow cached, leading to compile errors. As you can see from the screenshot below, the Sandbox is complaining of compile errors for a file which no longer exists in the repository!

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
I would like there to be a sandbox link which runs the latest version of the code shared from the main branch in github. Unfortunately I guess I'll have to remove the CodeSandbox links as it suggests that the code is broken when there's nothing wrong with it that I can see.
To Reproduce
I don't know how the session or the cache of this folder has become corrupted so I don't know how to recreate. I also don't see any control which allows me to force-reset the Github source checkout.

Research direction
Start with the linked CodeSandbox example at github/cefn/lauf/tree/main/apps/nextjs-snake and verify whether it loads stale code or reports a missing file. Investigate the GitHub Sandbox checkout or cache path; done means the link loads the current main-branch example without compile errors.
