Arduino Library Update won't delete older library folders when updating

[thorathome]

Describe the problem

Hello IDE Team.

Arduino library updates are still a little rough for me, and have been for quite some time. Long ago, library updates were simpler.
When manually updating a library using the IDE, the older library folder is not replaced. It causes an error and fails until I manually delete the older folder.

I am running:
Windows 11 Pro 23H2
Fully configured AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with Radeon Graphics with 32 GB Ram
IDE 2.3.4

When I attempt to manually update an existing Arduino library, I always have to delete the old library folder to make the update work.
Here’s a partial screenshot of my library folder.

This example is for library SensorLib. It shows the SensorLib library folder in within the library folder before I try to update it.

First: Arduino IDE tells me to update the library.
I hit the UPDATE (SensorLib) button and get the error messages in the screen shot below.

Then, I delete the SensorLib folder in my library folder and hit the UPDATE button again.
Now the library updates without error, as shown in the screenshot below.

However, it also leaves a folder named package-xxxxxxx behind, which I have to manually delete. See screenshot below.

This is a minor nuisance, but not a showstopper. This behavior has been around for a long time, but at one time, libraries updated more easily, without the need to delete the older library folder.
Please tell me if you want additional information. I am happy to help.

Thanks for keeping IDE updated and constantly improving. I remain a fan and a donor to the cause.

To reproduce

Manually update any library using IDE 2.3.4 without deleting the library folder first.
