# Description
## Please describe the issue and what steps we can take to reproduce it:
After renaming a folder, I'm unable to open the files inside it. Finder fails with an error: "<filename>" can't be found.

Reproducible steps:
1. Open Finder in columns view
2. Locate any folder that contains files
3. Rename folder
4. Try to access any file inside that renamed folder

It's also very important where you "click" since the issue can't be reproduced if you somehow bring Finder to "refresh" its state (at least that's what I assume). Just make sure to follow the steps exactly as shown in the attached screen recording.

I'm using the latest stable version of macOS 13.2.1 (22D68) and was able to reproduce this error on at least 3 different Macs.
