How do I stop the test files that are created with no extensions?

[varxtis]

I'm running into a frustrating problem.

Any time I work on my sesx project files, it seems to want to generate a new file that looks like "test2944682a-e5ca-4dfd-ba45-86ddeee48d18" in the "Creative Cloud Files" Audition 11.0 backup sub-directory. The next time I go to open an sesx, it says that it couldn't remove the test file and that the sesx file cannot be opened. I have to manually delete the test file, THEN open the sesx file. Sometimes I see a test file appear (I'll keep the directory window open) automatically without evening prompting any save, close, or new file. And it seems to want to create new test files instead of updating pre-existing ones, so they accumulate.

Im also getting frustrated because I feel like every time I make an adjustment to my project, add a new recording, or edit an existing recording, the project saves duplicates with extended files names that just get longer and longer. It wont just let me "Save". It forces me to "Save as" and throws a fit if I try to overwrite the file Im working on.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

You need to read the answer marked as 'correct' in this thread: Au Fatal Error: Could not delete the file...

In short, you need to alter your backup directory to one that isn't clobbered by the CC app fault!
