Foxit Reader is leaving a "Foxit Software" folder in App Data/Roaming (windows 8.1) when the app is closed.
Can I edit the launcher ini to move or delete this folder?
I'm currently deleting this folder manually.

It's better to leave a bug report in the support forums. Place a [Bug] in front of the topic and it should be tracked by the bug tracker.

Is anything in said directory? If empty, it should be removed on exit (see launcher.ini's DirectoriesCleanupIfEmpty section)

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I've deleted the whole app including the "Data" folder, downloaded a fresh copy and it's now working perfectly.
(BTW, loving your work Sir.)

As soon as I launch foxit a "Foxit Software" folder is created at the root of drive "D:\",
Foxit is located at C:\PortableApps\FoxitReader. The folder is always created in "D:\", no matter where the pdf file I open is located.

Inside the created folder there is a "Foxit Reader" folder. Inside that one there are a "StartPage 7.1.5" folder and a "CollectionData" file. Inside "StartPage 7.1.5" there are "advertisement" and "start" folders.

For now I'm getting rid of "Foxit Software" and subfolders by putting the following in launcher.ini:
[DirectoriesCleanupForce]
1=D:\Foxit Software

But it's not an elegant solution, obviously.

Please let me know if I can help you troubleshooting this.

Thanks.
