Changing 'Destination Folder' wiped my desktop

[meganerd19]

I downloaded the new Technic Launcher, and when I tried to change the destination folder, from within the platform, it restarted itself, but also seemed to wipe a large chunk of my desktop icons. In addition the folder I changed it to, a custom folder called 'TechnicLauncherNew' seemed to become eternally looping within itself. That is there's a folder with the exact same name inside it, and a duplicate inside that, and so on and so on (You dawg so I heard you hate useless folders that crash your computer, so I put the folder in a folder in a folder...). And the file name is apparently too long to delete, so I have no way of getting rid of it.

Why did it fuck up my desktop? How do I get rid of this infinitely repeating folder?

Have you tried deltree TechnicLauncherNew in a command prompt?

This isn't really Platform related. Also we've never heard of anyone else getting this issue before so any information you can provide would be useful. Like a step by step of what you did leading up to the issue. Sounds pretty crazy.

-downloaded new technic launcher

-couldn't find it, downloaded again and set the Desktop as the Destination Folder

-still couldn't find the shortcut after shutting it down (I thought changing destination folder would change where the icon went)

-downloaded again, found where it was going and dragged shortcut to desktop

-made new folder called TechnicLauncherNew for all the files

-opened Launcher, changed the destination folder to the TechnicLauncherNew one

-closed Launcher

-opened Launcher and desktop icons vanish, go into folder to find it's become self-replicating, and Technic Launcher doesn't always launch

-just a few minutes ago tried to open the Launcher again and it created a new TechnicLauncherNew folder and apparently deleted the other one, as well as the icon for the old Technic Launcher (which I keep around because I like the original Technic)

And I can't get rid of the folder either. And I don't know what deltree is.

I've managed to sort of delete them, but they keep coming back. I threw NewTechnicLauncher into My Documents and it seemed to let me delete it there, but all that happens is the moment I close and open My Documents it pops back up.

And to make matters worse it doesn't appear that the new Launcher works at all now.

I have this exact same problem with the folder. I attempted to change the destination folder of the Technic Launcher folder inside the Launcher settings. After I did that it asks you to restart. Launcher shut down and never restarted and won't open now. The folder I made keeps making replicated folders inside itself. You can't get rid of it. I have tried almost anything I could think of to fix it. Something is making it replicate. None of my desktop icons were gone, but this is the second time this has happened to me on two different computers. It something to do when you create a new folder when the launcher is open and try to change the launcher's destination folder to that newly created folder. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
