What happened?

I interrupted an environment creation and tried to run it again using conda version : 23.9.1.dev32+g95b40e677.d20231026 on OSX.

Conda detects what I'm trying to do, asks if I want to continue doing it, and then aborts with a prefix already exists error.

(base) dholth@Daniels-MBP conda % CONDA_FETCH_THREADS=3 conda create -n tf tensorflow
WARNING: A directory already exists at the target location '/Users/dholth/prog/conda/devenv/Darwin/arm64/envs/devenv-3.11-c/envs/tf'
but it is not a conda environment.
Continue creating environment (y/[n])? y


CondaValueError: prefix already exists: /Users/dholth/prog/conda/devenv/Darwin/arm64/envs/devenv-3.11-c/envs/tf
