CIDFont, CMap and Font Folder

I have updated AE to 17.0.3 today and now when I open a project it creates 3 Folders CIDFont, CMap and Font each containing a .lst file. Do these have a purpose?

When I open a project within AE these folders will not be created.

 

Is there an option to not create these folders, like it was until today?

Same problem in PSCC 21.1.0.

Have never seen this before the latest update several days ago.

This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future update. You can safely remove these folders in the meantime.

I really can't understand why don't you check the result of your updates before you make them available.

I have had the problem recently, probably since the last update. I often work with Photoshop, InDesign and Illustratror.
I can tell which program is causing this, but possibly the CC software?
The folders are always created automatically in the Win 10 user document folder. Is annoying 😞

These folders end up on my desktop when using Photoshop on a Windows 10 machine.
