BUG: old sandbox info cached to new sandbox with same name?

Hi,

I love TSVN.  I use it to manage a bunch of dev sandboxes, and I usually give the top-most directory (containing the first/rootiest '.svn' dir) a name describing the task; occasionally, a sandbox becomes obsolete or mangled, and then I kill it and start a new one, and sometimes, I re-use the name (e.g. task abandoned, then later re-acquired -- I know, it's crazy, I should just leave the sandbox there, etc, but never mind all that :-).

Today, I noticed that when creating a directory with the name of a previously deleted sandbox, TSVN overlaid its icon with 'TortoiseConflict.ico'; I didn't have time to investigate seriously, but I did check the properties and this apparently-empty directory (yes, I have "show hidden files" on) contained 4-5 MB.  I guessed that TSVN was caching something  and it was bleeding into the shell, so I killed explorer, restarted it, and checked the dir, and indeed, it was now (as expected originally) empty.  The only thing that made me think it was TSVN-related was the icon overlay.

Perhaps the orange "warning" was correct behaviour which I actually misunderstood, but FWIW, that's how it went down.  My apologies if the report is too vague.  Anyway, it's a rare scenario, so probably no big deal, but maybe something somewhere is forgetting to nix a cache (when a sandbox is deleted)?
