Symbolic link filename deleted then recreated as ordinary file still shows arrow symbol

[cleye-sherpah]

Type: Bug

I created a symbolic link from the vs code terminal with filename "metrics.py" i.e. ln -s ~/abc/metrics.py ./metrics.py The file in the Explorer window show the arrow icon indicating it was a symbolic link which is expected. After deleting the symbolic link file then creating another normal (non-symbolic link) file called "metrics.py" the arrow icon still remains. Pretty niche issue but just thought i'd let yas know ;)
