When removing a plugin, Claude Code may not be able to read settings in one of those folders. Its message now adds a hint: if a link along the way to the file leads to another machine, replace that link with a real folder or file. A link here means a shortcut that points to a folder or file stored somewhere else.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe message points at a likely cause and how to fix it.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `--add-dir`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
