Every time after using Adobe Illustrator and the next time I turn on my Mac, «‎Recovered files»‎ folder appears in trash can with different Adobe folders inside. What’s this? Why it’s happening? And how can I fix it?

Thanks! I've already read this. Turns out it's an Illustrator quits with an error every time?

For the experiment, I installed Illustrator on a new clean macOS. The same thing happens.

It's annoying!

As far as I can remember that happens when you restart your Mac. Looks like some temp files cleaned up by a system restart.

I just empty the thrash.

The folder appears exactly after the Mac was turned off after using illustrator, not after simple restart. (
