If memory stores are configured through the `CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES` environment variable you get the existing overwrite warning; otherwise you get a new message saying the directory is a leftover local copy that nothing syncs or recalls.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Which message you see is decided entirely by whether `CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES` is set.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`This file's directory is a leftover local copy of a project memory store that is no longer synced.`\n\n- Area: Memory\n- Names: `CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
