Description

src has 2 occurrences in project folder (vs code view)
seems like it has been open twice
can't see content of one of them + deleting it will also delete the other one
there is only one src folder when searching with file explorer
vs code is up to date

I tried to :

  • delete and clone repository
  • disable every extension except "project manager for java" and "language support for java"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the duplicate src folder in the VS Code Explorer with the Java project manager and language support extensions enabled, then compare it with the operating system's file explorer. Confirm whether the issue persists after recloning and disabling other extensions; done means the Explorer shows one src folder and deleting it has the expected behavior.
