How to turn off or move Adobe Animate 2022 recovery files

Report · May 20, 2022

I work at an animation studio and we are using Adobe Animate for a big project that has a lot of files and a lot of different people working out of the same shared folder. We are using Animate 2022 (v22.0.4), on MacOS 10.15

Is there any way to stop Animate from creating these RECOVERY files? Or to create them in a different folder? They're messing up my very tidy scene folders and making extra versions of the files that we don't need.
