Photoshop 26.0 update will remove your brushes etc. - PSA

I just updated my Photoshop 25.12.0 to the new 26.0 version on macOS 15. In every previous October release for as long as I can remember, like ALL of Creative Cloud, the old Adobe Photoshop 2024 folder would be left in place that contained brushes, actions, scripts, etc. that had been added to the previous version and then i could manually drag those over to the new Photoshop 2025 folder. However this release, the entire folder was removed. It doesn't put it in the trash its completely removed. I have a back up so I can go in and retreive what was wiped out but on my other machine I'm making backups of the plugins and presets before updating. 

 

This happened for Illustrator as well (so will post this there as well). My After Effects however did retain the old folder so I could grab what was in there. 

 

I'm marking this as a bug for now.

Welp, on my second Mac, running 14.6.1 (not that I think the OS has anything to do with the issue) my Photoshop 2024 remained so the backup I made was unnecessary. Not sure what happened, I know I had brushes, actions etc. installed on my OS 15 Mac since only an unaltered application folder would normally be the only way a complete removal would happen. 


Just adding that this isn't widespread I don't believe and there is no way for me to delete the post even.
