Description

I created and deleted a subteam on another machine.
I then added a new machine to my account.

/keybase/teams/team.subteam still appears, but the error

ls: cannot access team.subteam: Input/output error

is given.

my log id: d7b5a76df994aeb5c08d701c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the stale /keybase/teams/team.subteam entry using the reported creation and deletion sequence, and consult log id d7b5a76df994aeb5c08d701c. Trace how deleted subteam folders are represented and surfaced on a newly added machine. Done means the deleted folder no longer appears, or ls no longer returns an I/O error.
