Visual Studio Code file search not tracking project files correctly

Visual Studio Code is showing non-existent files. For example, creating a file with the wrong name



doga.txt


Then correcting that name



dog.txt


Will often show doga.txt in the file search for days after. Clicking on that file throws an error and it disappears, only to reappear later. Reloading the window does not fix the problem. This is especially painful during git interactive rebasing.



How can I ensure VSC is always showing a correct representation of my files, directories and contents?
