Odd and unexpected empty folders and files being created in same directory as my database.

I have never seen this before. Recently started occurring.

I have 2 folders that were created in my computer filesystem (I am assuming by FileMaker) with nothing inside of them. These folders "appear" to be date related: 6 for June; 27 for the day number. This data matches up with the "date modified" column on the operating system. See attached.

I also have 2 files (they are empty - see screenshot) that have FileMaker-type terminology:

  • "Evaluate ("
  • "Get (DesktopPath)

These folders and files are being created on my filesystem in the same folder as my FileMaker database.

I have never seen this before. The only thing I have been doing, literally for about a week, has been working on retrofitting some scripts to use parameters and variables.

Does anyone have any insight into this?

Appreciate you help, thanks.
