Premiere and Media Encoder creating D:\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs on launch

A number of users on the U2U forums are having issues with Premiere or MediaEncoder creating a folder tree on their 😧 drive as follows ...

D:\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs

or

D:\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Technical


It first was noted by people with Onedrive or Dropbox, but now several others have popped in that do not have those sync apps and everytime Premiere or Me launch, the apps create the folder-tree and folders.

Delete the folders, launch Pr or Me, the folders are created again.

A bug of some kind perhaps.

    I came here, because I have exactly the same problem... but in my case, the files are somehow created by some background processes set up by Photoshop Elements 2024.

    To be precise, I am moving the folders for "Pictures", and "Documents" ("Images" is a text error on my part)

      I just moved the "Images" and "Documents" folders to drive D, but every time I start Pr, Ae, or Me, they create an appdata folder containing LUTs in the root directory of drive D, which is very annoying.

          This has been happening to me for years, because I do not store my documents folder in the standard directory. It is terribly annoying and has been reported dozens of times over the years. Adobe ought to have fixed this years ago.

            This would be such a fast fix and would help so many people who use One Drive and Dropbox for backing up of essential data. @Adobe, please have someone look into this!

              Can't believe that already 2 years have passed and still continue with this error
              Is this how they care for their customers?

                Facing same problem, Adobe puts AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs path under Documents path instead of %userprofile% path, easy to fix but Adobe f*cks for their customers.

                  The problem is still occurring.
                  For me, it's After Effects combined with OneDrive.
