I could've sworn I had fixed that.  AS still creates the folder, but if it's empty at the end I'm pretty sure it deletes it (or is suppose to). If you can tell me an artist where you are seeing that, I can do some checking here on my end.

Strange.  If I set the destination of the AIF on my NAS, then AS does not delete empty folders after they are created.

I'd need to see a full debug log, but that potentially points to either a permissions issue or maybe an issue with Kodi's virtual file system (which is the thing that interfaces between Kodi and the actual mounts).

Strange.  I tried it on my Win10 PC and it worked normally.  It just has problems on my RPi 3B+.

Here is the log.
