ARC window keeps showing deleted asset if renamed before deletion

Unity: Audio Random Container

2023.2.X

Fixed an issue that would cause the audio random container window to retain a false reference to an audio random container asset after it has been deleted.

Cancelling this 2023.2 tech release issue since the support for this release has come to end of life. Cancelling this 2023.2 port case does not affect any LTS or Unity 6 Beta/Preview that remain open.

The ARC window does not refresh to day0 (empty) state when renaming an asset and deleting it. This also causes the ARC window to malfunction, throwing an error when trying to access it until you open a different ARC asset or enter play mode.

Repro

Create an ARC asset (Assets > Create > Audio > Audio Random Container)
Open the asset by double-clicking on it
Dock the ARC in a tab with the scene view
Rename the asset
Delete the asset
Switch to scene view
Switch back to the ARC window

Expected: The ARC window redraws to day0 after step 5 and is accessible when switching editor windows

Actual: The ARC window keeps showing the deleted asset and throws errors when trying to access it
