Describe the bug

If you name your folder blah.go and have you code in a file called blah.go, then run go clean it will delete blah.go/blah.go.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create folder called blah.go
2. Create file called blah.go/blah.go with contents "package main"
3. Create file called blah.go/go.mod with contents "module blah
   go 1.22"
4. Run go clean
5. File blah.go/blah.go is gone.

Fix

go clean should check if folder name ends in .go before deleting a file named the same as the parent folder.

By go clean, do you mean the Go command's clean subcommand, or something else?
(In other words, the step 4 means, run go clean from the terminal?)

Yes, and while being in the folder blah.go.

Hi Sc00bz, I was not able to re-produce this issue, do you think this is something still happening? Do you think this is something related to VSCode?
