    That folder has to be there with the current version. If you delete it, that’s the same as resetting preferences, which means the application opens with all default settings.

    If deleted, it will be recreated on next launch.

    You can remove this folder for older versions that are no longer installed.

    ​@drahom�r_1722 Yes, we’ve understand. But as ​@D Fosse and I wrote, this folder can’t be removed permanently. If you deleted this folder it will be recreated on the next start of Photoshop.

    Possible this behavior will be fixed in on of the next updates.

    Other folders from older versions that you’ve deinstalled (like Photoshop 2024, 2025 etc). can be deleted. This doesn’t be recreated.

    There’s no way to permanently delete the directory at the moment.
