After a zoom call, an empty time-stamped folder saves to my MacBook. Wondering how to stop this?

Thanks

    Hi @tashad2002 ,  thank you for your patience! I noticed your thread and wanted to come back to it. It seems that you reached out to our support team and they were able to assist you with this issue. Did uninstalling/reinstalling the client work out for you? If you have a chance, let me know 🙂

    To all who've posted - I had the same problem, here's what tech support advised:

    Upon further investigation the cause of this was the Meeting chat - Auto-save feature was enabled. Can you please try to disable the Meeting chat - Auto-save feature? Kindly click the link:  https://us06web.zoom.us/profile/setting, under meeting basic. You can refer to the attached screenshot for reference.

    Thanks for this. I can disable that feature, but then when I really want to save a chat, have to remember to save it. Kind of a pain in the butt, as my zoom didn't do this before. I will try it, though. If it doesn't work, I'll post back here.

    I did a test (turning off the chat auto-save to computer)

    It still saves a copy of the chat with your Zoom meeting audio and video recordings. You can log into zoom and download the chat later.

    However, I think it the chat saved to the cloud may not include direct messages.
