Description
This might be a bit too edge-case, so feel free to close if you feel that's the case. ☺️
If you delete files in the file explorer, the Workspace view doesn't know to refresh itself to reflect any of those changes. This is most obvious when you delete an old functions project, but the local project node is still there.
I don't think this causes any functional problems, but it does make the UI feel a little less snappy.
Alternatively, each extension could register a file system watcher to refresh the specific tree item whenever the relevant files change, but I figured it would make sense for the entire Workspace view to refresh since all resources are local and refreshing should be pretty low cost.

Research direction
Locate the Workspace view implementation and the FileChangeEvent handling in the TypeScript extension, then reproduce the stale local project node after deleting a project in the file explorer. Trace how the view currently refreshes and verify that it reflects file deletions when the event fires.
