User complains about ChatGPT Projects file naming collision issue
jakderrida · reddit · 2026-08-16
A user reported a severe flaw in ChatGPT's Projects feature: uploading a file with the same name as a deleted one appends '(1)' instead of replacing it. This breaks references between custom instructions and source files. The user suggests OpenAI create dedicated subdirectories for each project to resolve this.
