Could anyone shed some light on this? This appears to be working as intended. "git worktree prune" is telling you that it is pruning the administrative data for the "dest.wt" worktree (reason: "worktree location no longer exists"), which you intentionally deleted before pruning. It's not clear what it is that you find confusing. There is not a lot more I can say without understanding what behavior you were expecting and how your expectation differs from the actual experience. (Also, please consider how easy or difficult it is for a reader to interpret your pasted "sample session". The one provided is more confusing than necessary due to the command prompt bearing the same path information as the output of the "git worktree list" command, as well as unnecessary duplicated commands, such as "ls", and missing "cd" commands which do not help to illuminate what it is you are trying to get across. The pasted transcript also contains invalid code-points which render as oddball characters -- or not at all -- which didn't help. Best would be to prepare a minimal example of shell commands to reproduce the behavior you're trying to illustrate.)
