Description of issue

While upgrading all my installed packages I hit an error on "thecommander". I tried upgrading it afterwards separately:

MacBookPro % brew upgrade --greedy
==> Fetching downloads for: thecommander
✔︎ Cask thecommander (1.0.64) Verified 23.0MB/ 23.0MB
==> Upgrading 1 outdated package:
thecommander 1.0.63 -> 1.0.64
==> Upgrading thecommander
==> Purging files for version 1.0.64 of Cask thecommander
Error: thecommander: It seems there is already an App at '/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/thecommander/1.0.63/TheCommander.app'.

I thought I would uninstall it, but this also fails:

MacBookPro % brew uninstall thecommander
==> Uninstalling Cask thecommander
Error: It seems there is already an App at '/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/thecommander/1.0.63/TheCommander.app'.

I see this in the Caskroom folder for "thecommander":

MacBookPro % ls -la /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/thecommander
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 bonny admin 160 Mar 11 10:45 .

drwxr-xr-x@ 3 bonny admin 96 Mar 9 17:11 1.0.63.upgrading

Any help would be appreciated - TIA!

You could remove it manually by

rm -r /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/thecommander/

and install again. Maybe -f option is also required.
