Portable still writes to /AppData/Roaming

[dabugen]

The portable version still creates these directories (including some files in there) directly on the system it runs on:

C:\Users\ -user- \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Skype for Desktop
C:\Users\ -user- \AppData\Roaming\Skype

Being tagged as portable, those directories should not be created on the host system, or should at least be removed once Skype was fully shutdown, but the directories persist in both cases.

Thanks for making Skype 8.x portable.

But I ask for the same issue as @dabugen

[crazy-max]

I will investigate on this, thx for your feedback

[crazy-max]

Must be solved in the latest release.
For your information, C:\Users\ -user- \AppData\Roaming\Skype is hardcoded in skypert.dll and it's a temp directory not needed during execution so it will be removed when Skype is closed.
And i have managed to move C:\Users\ -user- \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Skype for Desktop in the data folder.

Thanks. Downloading right now and testing later on tonight.

[dabugen]

Thanks a lot, will test too!

Thank you, version 8.20.0.9-12 working good here as expected.

Latest version is still writing to appData folder:

AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Skype for Desktop
AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Skype for Desktop/SkypeRT/*
AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Skype for Desktop/CS_skylib/*

But thanks for your hard word Max, you`ve done a great job. Hopefully this Skype issue can be fixed in a future version.

@teamayu Yes indeed, but those files inside AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Skype for Desktop are hardcoded inside Skype. What we can do is removing this folder on close. Can you open a proper bug report about this please ?
