Installed Acustica Aquarius to try out a Demo. Now it creates and fills up a folder on my user-name level full of - logs?

480MB size with over 2000 files in it, files and logs each time I am using this plugin in LogicPro11. This is not any App-folder and the Demo plugin (AU-component) is for sure somewhere else.

1st time I see this from any developer. Why does this happen and for what reason?

it caches everything you download, I think you can delete it manually from the aquarius UI by clicking the trash can in the corner

Yes, I noticed that trial plugin—it’s split into a dozen ZIP files, which is something I’ve never seen any other developer do.
On top of that, it creates new cache folders every time I use it in Logic, which seems really odd to me.

Acustica has utter disdain for a users file system. This has always been the case.

I recently re-installed the ones that I own and rediscovered that despite the fact many of their plugins sound incredible and unique, I can't stand the file system clutter. It's idiotic and should have been addressed years ago. I have a new system coming in next week and won't be re-installing or acquiring any more of their offerings.

I have most of their products up to but not including their grift with the Ultra products. At that point I gave up on them. The net result has been I've saved money. Their "old" products are good enough and I dont want to invest more money in their bone-headed platform.
