[Originally submitted to https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/459. A user replied "I don't think this should concern MATE-Terminal, it's a question of the shell itself IMO." - https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/459#issuecomment-2222276438]

When a directory is deleted while the user is inside it, the terminal should automatically return to the parent directory.

#### Expected behaviour
When a directory is deleted while the user is inside it, the terminal should automatically return to the parent directory.

```
user@domain:~/test$ mkdir ~/test && cd ~/test && touch foo && ls
foo
user@domain:~/test$ rm -r ~/test
user@domain:~/$
```

#### Actual behaviour
The terminal remains in the deleted directory's path, even though the directory no longer exists.

#### Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Create a new directory and navigate into it:

```
user@domain:~/test$ mkdir ~/test && cd ~/test && touch foo && ls
foo
```

Delete the directory while still inside it:
```
user@domain:~/test$ rm -r ~/test
```
