Describe the bug

When running a forge test containing snapshotGasLastCall, forge will remove the folder and recreate the files.
This behavior is quite problematic on bigger codebases as it's recommended to check the snapshots in git, but running test via forge test --mc SomeTestContract will remove all snapshots, but only recreate the ones created within the test I am running.

Imo it would be far less problematic & better UX, to just overwrite the affected file instead of removing the whole folder.

---

On some editors (at least zed) the current behavior is also problematic in regards to file watching as the removal and recreation will not be properly detected. Instead the stale(removed) file will be shown till a manual reload (close/open) by the user happens.
