Currently, if an application calls queryPermission() on a moved or deleted folder or file it still returns prompt. I propose that this should be changed because it currently hinders user experience and may cause confusion.
Example Bad UX
User has already given permission to a folder to app and is returning to app. App's use case makes heavy use of the file system access API and the user will be expecting to use that folder right away
The website opens a modal and asks the user to accept permission to access the folder and presents a button (because calling promptPermission() can't be called without a user gesture)
The user clicks the button and now the browser presents a modal to the user asking them if they wish to grant access.
The application now tries to iterate through the folder using .values(). A DOMException is raised DOMException: A requested file or directory could not be found at the time an operation was processed..
The user is confused and/or frustrated that the folder they just went through 2 permission modals now suddenly has an error.
