The file “playground.xcworkspace” couldn’t be saved in the folder “CalculateCityTaxAmount.playground” because a file with the same name already exists.
I've been getting this error in every file I try to work in in playground. I try reinstalling and closing all apps open but no resolution. Someone please advise.
Thanks

7,796 PointsI'm not understanding. I assume playground has an auto save feature. Shouldn't Xcode overwrite automatically when it auto saves that playground file in working on. I have an development folder that holds all my playground files. Is there something about playground and it's saving process I should know about? This error triggers and it crashes the app
