I understand how unexpected behavior like this can be frustrating! Could you confirm where your files are usually stored—locally on your Mac, a network drive, a server, or an external drive? Also, would you mind sharing the version of Illustrator and macOS you’re using?
To help us troubleshoot, could you try working in Safe Mode (with no other apps opened) and check if the random folders are still being created? This could help us identify if there’s something specific affecting the process.
