Description

While I was working, ran out of weekly credits and renewed them suddenly the left sidebar in the ChatGPT windows program with Codex add on the Projects Folder completely disappeared. I can only access my old folder set online or by manually searching for it.

Attached is a screen shot of what it reset to while I was attempting to work on a few projects.

The issue does not name a source file, entry point, or test, so locating the relevant desktop UI and determining a reproducible cause would be required before defining done.
