File differs only by case error

I'm getting a strange error from TypeScript. For some reason it thinks the case of my file name is different and it's causing problems with check and when running.
Says file differs only by case. How can I resolve this? I don't have access to Deno's ts config or cache or anything (that I'm aware of)

Had this issue a few times, it’s not Deno-specific, I think it’s TS. I Google my way to the solution every time it happens. There’s solutions on Stack Overflow.

I get this error if I change a filename while in VS Code by case. Util.ts to util.ts. The only way to clear it was to close and re-open VS Code. I'm on Windows.

That's annoying because I don't have any control over it. Deno check returned the error also but I got it resovled by deleting all the files in my repo and piece by piece copy pasting the code back into empy files. Lucky I just got the repo started and there were only a few files. Once I convert all the NodeJS to Deno there will be like 1000's of files. Hopefully this won't happen often.

I've also found that while in VS Code, you can just rename the offending file with an extra char xUtils.ts and then rename it again utils.ts, and the error goes away.

I'll try that next time. I'm using webstorm but if it's an ide issue it might work

I think it comes from Deno LSP but not sure.
