Description

### What Happened?

I created two files with the same name and moved them both to the rubbish bin.

I then restored one of the files from the rubbish bin. They came back with a modified name e.g `file.2.txt`. The original name of the file was `file.txt`.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the files app
2. Navigate to your "Downloads" folder
3. Use context menu to create a new empty file
4. Call it "file.txt"
5. Move "file.txt" to the Rubbish Bin
6. Navigate to your "Documents" folder
7. Repeat steps 3,4 and 5
8. Navigate to Rubbish Bin, you'll notice at least 2 files named "file.txt".
9. Select the "file.txt" file that displays "file.2.txt" or any name in the format "file.{number}.txt" in the info popup on the bottom of the screen when you select the file
10. Restore the file
11. When you to the destination of the restored file (in this case the "Documents" folder), you'll see that the file no longer has the "file.txt" name anymore, it's "file.2.txt" or modified with another number.

### Expected Behavior

The restored file should return to it's destination with the name it had when it was deleted "file.txt".
