Thanks for your fix~ @stephantul
I'm no longer getting errors when running commands in the new directory, but I still get the same errors as before in the old directory. What steps do I need to take to resolve this?

Hello! I think the only workaround for you is to delete the cache for that specific project. For windows, your cache folder is:

$HOME/AppData/Local/semble/Cache

In this folder, you will find several folders, each one of these is an index. Deleting all of them will cause all of them to regenerate.
