 Reproduction Report

 ❌ I am unable to reproduce the issue as described.

 Environment:
 - WordPress: 6.8.1
 - PHP: 8.0.26
 - Server: Apache/2.4.54 (Win64) PHP/8.0.26 mod_fcgid/2.3.10-dev
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.0.31 / Client: mysqlnd 8.0.26)
 - Browser: Chrome 138.0.0.0
 - OS:  Windows 10/11
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.2
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.0
   * WP Rollback 2.0.7

 Steps I Tried:
 1. Installed a theme (e.g., "Twenty Twenty-Five 1.0").
 2. Uploaded the updated theme ZIP Twenty Twenty-Five 1.2.

 ✅ Result: WordPress correctly showed "Destination folder already exists"
 and did not create a duplicate directory.


 Notes:
 - I double-checked the wp-content/themes/ folder and no duplicate like
 "twentytwentyfive-1" was created.
 - This may be environment-specific or a caching issue in the original
 report.
