Issue Description

When you rename a file, the syntax errors don't get cleaned up. Over time, you end up accumulating a large number of reported errors, that don't actually exist. When you click on one of these errors in a non-existent file, VSCode asks if you want to create the file.

Hmmm, interesting. I've seen VS Code not be very thorough about cleaning up warning/errors but maybe we're causing this somehow. I'll look into it, thanks!

I have seen this too. A restart seems to clear.

Verified the issue, I suspect this is due to using a sorely outdated version of vscode-languageclient. I'll check on this again after we update to the latest version.

I am having trouble re-producting this issue and am guessing it has been fixed. Will re-open if it is still an issue.
