git reset tries to delete folder when last file is removed but failed to do so if shell is in the deleted folder.

Repro steps (powershell): mkdir test cd test git init mkdir dir cd dir add-content .\file "" git add . git commit -m "1" git mv .\file .\file2 git commit -m "2" git reset --hard HEAD^

> Deletion of directory 'dir' failed. Should I try again? (y/n)

Choosing y will repeat the same prompt. Choosing n will complete the operation correctly.
