Error 1 - Deploying a WebPart solution

Problem:
Error 1 The solution can not be deployed. Directory "DataView" associated with feature 'ad6ebc94-517f-4653-be15-84ceb207f5ec' in the solution is used by feature '99088a73-c387-4c4b-94be-a73353a270da' installed in the farm. All features must have unique directories to avoid overwriting files.

Solution:
Go into Central Administration, Operations, Solution Management and retract the solution.

I had this problem when using the VS2005 SharePoint Extensions after I deployed a solution the first time, changed the solution and then tried to deploy it again. I'm not sure why I had the problem, I would think I could edit and redeploy again and again.
