Hot to disable Assets Generator forever?

Greetings! Photoshop 22.5. Every time I use "Quick Export As PNG" function on a layer or artboard, Photoshop creates a folder next to the file with the name "FileName-assets", in which it automatically saves the exported layer. But I don't need it!

I disabled Edit / Preferences / Plugins / Enable Generator ... helped for a while, but now the folders are being created again. And it starts to strain ))) SOS! I would be immensely grateful if you could help me figure it out )

Adobe Generator is different to Export As, there is a preference setting to enable/disable Generator, however, if you don't name your layers with .jpg/png/gif and tick the Generate Assets menu item then it shouldn't be in play anyway.

This doesn't make it not do that. It still creates the stupid assets directory, and I don't want it.
