Swift Error.

Withing the first 10 minutes of running Xcode I keep getting an error that says "The file "playground.xcworkspace" couldn't be saved in the folder "MyPlayground.playground" because a file with the same name already exists."

It crashes and makes me lose my progress.

I've had that happen to me. In my case, closing and then re-opening XCode has fixed it. Once I also had to close down and then reboot my computer, but then it worked fine.

Thanks for your input. I did attempt that, to no avail. I am now in the process of reinstalling Xcode.
