Can confirm this is happening as well. I keep deleting it but it keeps coming back. Oh well, I might write a script to delete it automatically.

Well if you have to delete it regularly, the annoyance of that adds up (as well as the time I suppose), when you could quite easily schedule a task to delete it in Task Scheduler.

Definitely not to "time sink parity" with Linux just yet. Depending on what you need your machine for, of course.

Eh... Let's agree that it varies by usecase and what bothers you, I suppose.
