MS-Word creating empty temp files when saving

[T4rb0ch4rg3d]

Hi,

When using Microsoft Office Word and saving on a network folder, MS-Word creates empty folders. I have manually delete al these folders with every time a save a document. This only happens when using a network folder. When saving on the local SSD of my MacBook, this problem does not exist.

See the attached picture. The folders where created at the moment I saved this document. If I open the document and save again, 6 extra empty folders show up.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I searched around the web and I found more people with this issue, but thus far not the solution.

Thanks in advance.

Have you read this thread?

It seems that nobody has a solution yet. But first, are you running the latest version of Word with all updates applied?

Latest version of MacOS and Office, yes. Thanks for the link, I really hope someone finds a solution for this. It is pretty annoying 😅
