How do I prevent image downloads from going into a Library?

I was downloading images today and now every time I download a stock image, it gets automatically added to an old CC Library I never use in my account. I used to be asked if I wanted to save downloads to a library but now it just does it automatically. I don't see the option to change this anymore. I tried deleting site cookies and cache but it still persists. For now, I've made a placeholder Library where they should keep downloading into where I can delete later, but it's a bit of a nuisance right now.

 

Edit: It's not moving the images to the Library I specified either, so something seems to be broken.

Correct answer Abambo

You license an asset, you get in the upper right corner a screen saying it has been saved in the default library. You click Manage.

You can change there the default library, and the asset gets moved. Or you disable the Autosave or you disable the Auto-download. Or you create a new library that acts as default, until changed.

Hm, when I disable the library, they do not go to the library.

Where do I disable Library? I do actually use the library feature, especially within the Adobe apps. I just don't really need one-off stock photo downloads getting saved into some default Library I don't use.
