```auto
 ~/eon-features  tree                                                                                    
.
├── eon-features.code-workspace
└── ml-feature-set
    ├── README.md
    ├── __pycache__

```

If I change the name of the directory `~/eon-features` to `~/dev` as follows:

```auto
 ~/dev  tree                                                                                    
.
├── eon-features.code-workspace
└── ml-feature-set
    ├── README.md
    ├── __pycache__

```

all the history in the “All Chats” be gone!

But if I change the directory name back, the history will all come back.

Is there a way to retain my history while allowing me to change the top level directory name?
