Hello,
I wanted to start working with Unity Engine (MacBook Pro M1, Squoia 15.0.1 system), the latest version after a break of almost a year but unfortunately this process ended in total failure. I decided to delete everything, but there was a problem with one unidentified, probably fake folder not removable. It’s called “.egstore” (that’s how it starts with a dot).
In the middle is the uncheckable folder “bps” and here are the stairs. Another folder inside I remove easily manually but I can’t look there or permanently delete by checking the system trash directly. Trying remove “bps” and whole “.egstore” - impossible. The system always crashes or hang-up for a long time when I tries to empty the trash. This file was created only by installing from the official version downloaded from the Epic website and exists in folder created by it started with “UE_5.2”
What to do, please help? I have reported the problem many times but there is no answer anywhere. I don’t want to format it permanently, too many valuable things and cannot move it anywhere (drive is 8TB)/
There is no problems with other applications and my hard drives, checked repeatedly. I did a fresh install of the entire UE and again the problem occurred. I have in the trash two deleted installations with this strange folder.
Is Unreal Engine really a kind of virus and is used to destroy user’s disks and resources? Or is it some kind of trick for the naive?
I switched to the brilliant, wonderful version of Unity 6 and UE is no longer welcome in our group and company. I want to get rid of it. Entire teams have been warned about the problems and risks in the UE installation, so we don’t want to return to this dangerous tool.
Also this problem is reported to Apple but they asked first to contact here. Maybe it can be included as a black list of installations in next system updates.
Thank you.
