Hi Team,

Require some guidance on this Issue.

First thing, some folders are getting created automatically in the folder i save my Alteryx WF's (Maybe some setting this please help if it is).

Secondly, when i try to delete those folders i get this Error : Action can't be completed because the file is open in AlteryxEnginecmd.exe

Hi @harshal98 

It looks like the folders are created by the Alteryx/Python interface library.  If you search for jupyterPipes.json all the valid matches reference Alteryx.  I would recommend reaching out directly to Alteryx at support@alteryx.com.  

As to why they can't be deleted, I'd hazard a guess that Designer has a lock on the folders.  Can you delete them if Designer is closed?  What about after a reboot?  In any case, I think reaching out directly to Alteryx is your best option.
