Opening Documents in Office Desktop client creates sharepoint links in network drive folder

Hi Guys

Having an issue where if a document is opened from sharepoint or through the explorer window in Office, a "folder" is created in the network drive folder which has a sharepoint link to the document. I realise this is probably a built in versioning feature of SharePoint but it's becoming a bit of a pain with the sheer volume of links being created. Any ideas how to turn off this feature or bug?

Thanks//

Hi,

Could you capture the screenshot of the "folder"? Please specify the "folder" path in the screenshot.

In my environment, whether I open the document from site UI or open library with Windows Explorer, then open document, there is no folder created.

Please test the issue on another PC and check if it is related to client machine.
