Hi! There was a problem. When you start the game without mods (steam version), a strange folder is created on the disk by itself. Which is disgustingly stupid, the folder is created even after completely reinstalling the game to ANOTHER DISK

help me pls...

Where the game is installed is unrelated to where it writes its settings and cache, etc, which is here:
Right click on Documents in the left column of File Explorer, just under This PC there. Go to properties, location.
Unusual to see that folder on an E: drive though!

In any case, one empty folder is not doing you any harm, it only uses a few bytes of disk space.

the main problem is that it is created on the disk itself, and not in the documents. literally "my computer" -> "disk" -> "folder with scary signs"
 
I don't know what is doing that then, it is not normal.

What does it say in that location I described?

the documents folder is actually located on the "E:/" drive. But (!!!) in "E:/documents"

Can it be created because the Documents folder is located in a folder with a name made of Cyrillic characters? For example, the system sees that the "documents" on the "E" disk:/", but it can't fall into the "Documents" folder below because of the Cyrillic alphabet?
 
If I change the name of the folder where the "Documents" are stored, then a terrible folder is created in it, but for some reason does not want to fall into the "Documents" themselves, even if I rename them already...

The default Documents location is
C:/users/{username}/Documents/

If you didn't do that, then I guess someone else with access to the computer has!
