Is your feature related to a problem ?

#187 is on the same topic, but unrelated.

What solution do you want to see ?

When Purge (Upload Config/Auto Clean Up) option is enabled and we use the File Menu Upload function on a directory, the Purge should only be executed on content which was previously located in this directory.

Describe the alternative you've considered

Windows

Anything else?

Stuff to keep in mind:

• We might worry about content not getting auto-purged if the name of the directory is changed. This shouldn't be a point of focus, the person chooses to upload THIS directory. Stuff that is in the repo but unrelated, should not be touched. If someone wants to update the folder name, they should synchronise either the whole workspace, or parent folder. Otherwise we are forced to keep some history of dir names & path renames, which is insane :D

How I would handle this check:

• Run the "Upload dir" through Folder path rename
• Check if this renamed directory already exists in the repo
• If it exists, take all the other dirs and temporarily add them to excluded files and folders list of autoclean.
• Run Autoclean
• Merge, Commit, Push our directory

Can be complicated to do, as the folder path can be changed using option (with frontmatter) and It can't be get using the folder menu option :/
