Hey, thanks for the report. This is quite a strange and unusual issue. Could you confirm that there’s enough space on your disk? This can sometimes happen when disk space is running low, which triggers auto-cleanup. Also, some antivirus programs may delete important files, or if you’re using software to clean your computer’s cache, that could be a factor too. If any of these apply to your case, I’d recommend checking them.
