Immediately Clean Up Files Written to Wrong Location

When to use: When you realize you've written files to the wrong project directory or path.

Rule

1. As soon as you realize a file was created in the wrong location, immediately delete it before doing anything else.
2. Use rm -f <file> and rmdir <dir> to clean up.
3. Confirm cleanup with an echo/message.
4. Only then proceed to the correct location.

Why: Stray files in wrong repos cause confusion, potential git commits of garbage, and clutter. The longer they exist, the more likely they'll be forgotten.

Prevention: Before writing files, confirm the correct project root by checking for existing project markers (package.json, README, .git, existing index.html).
