Sorry, yes, I omitted my username from the filepath. It is C:/Users/*My Username*/Desktop/Games. I've updated my post to clarify. I think the folder is empty because it is empty. I'm sure the itch app creates that folder while it is downloading something, but I imagine it would be good practice to remove that folder when the download is complete instead of leaving there not doing anything. I've never had an issue installing programs directly on the desktop but I can try moving them to C:/Games and see if that makes a difference.

That will not make a difference.   You told itch that it's folder to use is Games and this usage obviously includes creating a download folder. Unless there is a config option, that folder will stay. Maybe make it hidden, if it bothers you.

I can see hidden folders so that wouldn't change anything. Does nobody else have an empty downloads folder in the game installation folder specified by the itch app? Or do they just not care?
