Research direction
Start at the ng new command entry point and trace how it handles an existing project folder. Add the requested confirmation or error behavior, including alternative-name guidance, and verify that existing files are not replaced.

Description
Command
new
Description
I'm new to Angular and I just started using its CLI, it's easy to use and I appreciate it a lot.
However, I have noticed that it misses ( based on my experience with NextJS CLI) to ask the developer if the project ( folder ) exists and if he is sure that he wants to recreate the project and remove the old files.
STEP 01
ng new my app
STEP 02
Write some code and save the changes.
STEP 03
ng new my app
Expected
The CLI asks that the project name exists.
Current
Create a new project with the same name and replace older files with the new ones.
Describe the solution you'd like
The CLI should inform the developer that the project name exists and recommends alternative names.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Invoke an error and enforce the user to change the name of the project name.
