Bug Report

Current Behavior

When I install a software, scoop will create a RunAsAdmin folder in the current working directory to save the cache. Why?

The command I executed when installing scoop was

.\install.ps1 RunAsAdmin -ScoopDir 'C:\Scoop' -ScoopGlobalDir 'C:\Scoop' -Proxy 127.0.0.1:7890

When I use scoop to install software in any directory, it will create a RunAsAdmin/ folder in that directory to store the cache. How can I change it to the default scoop/cache?

Additional context/output

uan@ MINGW64 /d/Home $ ls
NGS-analysis/  resume/  RunAsAdmin/

uan@ MINGW64 /d/Home $ cd RunAsAdmin/
uan@ MINGW64 /d/Home/RunAsAdmin $ ls
llvm#18.1.4#https_github.com_llvm_llvm-project_releases_download_llvmorg-18.1.4_LLVM-18.1.4-win64.exe_dl.7z*

RunAsAdmin is passed as string as a location parameter to the install script.

How can I change it to the default scoop/cache?

scoop config rm cache_path or delete env var SCOOP_CACHE, one of them will exist on your PC at least.
