Hi kurlyo3d,
That doesn’t sound like what should be happening at all and I haven’t been able to reproduce this on my end. When I press the fix redirectors option, it cleans up the filepaths and deletes the redirects every time, so something else must be getting in the way. Are any of your folders named the same as your project as in xuri’s post above? If so change the name there. Additionally, if you manually delete those uasset files in windows explorer do they still come back when you re-open the editor? To test, move one of the problem folders from the contents folder in windows explorer to your desktop, then open the project in editor and see if that folder re-appears. If it does not and the editor does not crash, you should be able to delete those assets in windows explorer. If none of this works can you make a post on the answerhub at http://answers.unrealengine.com in the bug reports section so we can assist you more in depth?
