`dust` in a deleted/missing directory outputs a different dir

[lesleyrs]

I was expecting it to give an error, but instead it shows a completely different directory (in my case it's the default dir, not sure exactly what it's doing). This is on windows.

Thx for this tool btw, helped me clean my ssd as the official windows tools don't show hidden files which is fair I guess.

Are you running dust in the directory after you have deleted the directory ?

[lesleyrs]

Yes, by deleting it in file explorer instead of the terminal. I think this causes it to output the default starting directory, I'd prefer just an error message.

I'm not sure that's going to be possible.

what happens if you run dust on a directory that doesn't exist in windows:

dust C:\THIS_DOES_NOT_EXIST/\

?

If it's not going to work feel free to close, it's not a big deal but would just be a little improvement.

It shows

Did not have permissions for all directories
