Please stop placing StreamFab/DVDFab files in "My Documents"

When Microsoft added the Files On-Demand option, the disable sync certain folders option disappeared on the latest versions. Your only option is to turn off backup of the Documents folder as a whole in the Manage Backup settings of OneDrive

I love how everyone has workarounds for StreamFab issues...

"Use a renamer", "Disable OneDrive Sync", "Use yt-dlp", "Download subs with a userscript" (that one is me actually lol)...

How about the DEVs just code properly?

With FAB exited, I've deleted it. it came back

You're right. Unlocking and deleting got rid of it, but after I ran SF again, it came back. Both the Images folder and products.json. I agree totally with jpp72 as to what he writes later in this thread. The developers should fix it. Until then, whenever, an automated script that moves the files should do the trick temporarily.

I've been moving my Profile folders for years - I get customers all the time with corrupted Windows. I really don't suggest keeping Docs, Pics, Vids, Music, Downloads, Desktop and Favorites on the Windows default locations. I always put the Profile folders on another drive and just tell Windows to expect it there.

Create a folder like "My Profile" on another drive. Create sub-folders for docs, pics, vids, etc.

Open "This PC", right click on "Documents", click on "Properties', click on "Location" tab, choose the "Move" box and point to the matching new sub-directory.

Windows will move all the files and from then on use the new locations.

Repeat for all the other Profile folders

If Win craps out, just restore your recent C: image (you do have one?) or reinstall and point to the custom locations on the unaffected drive

Most power users know this. But if you look at KidJoe's screenshot, his folder is moved. So that means StreamFab is obviously getting the location of the Documents folder and is putting it in there.

They are NOT using something like

%USERPROFILE%\Documents

but more likely something like

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)
