**Q: Date/Time this occurred (Provide your time zone also)**
**A:** 19 Jan 2021 18:50 ( 16:50 UTC )
**Q: DevKinsta Version**
**A:** 1.0.1
**Q: OS Version**
**A:** Windows 10 Pro 19042.746
**Q: Docker Desktop Version**
**A:** 3.1.0 (51484)
**Q: Were any error codes or messages observed? If so, what were they?**
**A:** No logs or errors unfortunately.
**Q: Detailed Description of the Problem**
**A:** Going into settings **Site path** to select a different folder for the sites. As soon as you select a new folder it gets deleted instead of being selected.
Example / Replication steps:
**Default folder** : C:/users/{username}/DevKinsta/
**Custom folder** : D:/my\_sites
1. Open DevKinsta
2. Navigate to Settings
3. Select the **D:/my\_sites** on **Site path**
The **my\_sites** folder is getting removed instead of being selected. Note that it doesn’t even go into Recycle Bin so by the looks of it permanently removed.

I’ve re-installed DevKinsta and tried with various folder setups, all custom folders end up vanishing.
Thankfully I didn’t had any other files there, but please do check this to avoid possible loss of data 🙂 .
Do tell me if you need any more info or a screencast displaying the issue!

Thank you for reporting this issue. We were able to reproduce on Windows but not MacOS.

I’m facing the exact same issue. I’m trying to select a folder I created, C:\Users\myname\OneDrive\Documents\Websites\DevKinsta, in the DevKinsta Site path box.
Once I do and hit OK, the Site path reverts to its original C:\Users\myname\DevKinsta\ and the DevKinsta folder in C:\Users\myname\OneDrive\Documents\Websites\ gets deleted.
