@burnout426 oh, sorry i initially thought it was just an extra copy, now i remember when cleaning the %temp% there were a couple of scoped dir's there. Didn't know that they had to be on the same drive though, my bad, I checked and they automatically clean up after closing opera. Thank you for providing the information !

@leocg is there any way to disable this on my own risk? After all if im using the ssd just for downloads my writing limit of theoretically 360tb is basically halved, not to mention the pain of having to delete those folders manually

Hello i have recently changed the downloads directory for opera as i have upgraded with a 1tb ssd made just for games/downloads. Whenever i download an executable(rufus, media creation tool, other installers) and open it, it is found under a subfolder called scoped_dir[random numbers] besides the file that i have downloaded, so at a point there are 2 exact copies of the same file in my downloads. Is there any fix to this issue? I have found posts from 2016, 2017, 2019 but none of them had an actual solution to the issue, just speculations and other people experiencing it. Thank you for any help you can possibly offer.
