I have created this issue, but am still finding out the details of what actually happens.

I have noticed the last year that occasionally I have to remove blenderkit files from my home folder. To my knowledge I haven't enabled (I veryfied) blender kit add on at all. Inside the folder a json file is stored. Sometimes it happens often, the other times it does not.

I find it also strange that it want to store files in the user folder. In linux storing it in the cache folder would make more sense just like cycles does it.

More than a week without reply or activity. Due to the policy of the tracker archiving for until required info/data are provided.
(in this case the report was never complete, @VilemDuha we can always reopen this or you can report a new issue if you have a more clear picture of the issue).

If I understand this right, Blender doesn't touch or run/register add-on files until enabled. I don't understand how there could possibly be a way for BlenderKit to execute any code at all. Is there some kind of 'preregistration' happening when blender checks for installed(not enabled) addons?

This happens in the unit test bl_load_addons.py, which enables all (except blacklisted) add-ons one by one.
In my opinion this shouldn't create new directories in my home directory, or download files from the internet.

I think the original bug report can be corrected - BlenderKit really only creates the directory upon registration, when enabled.

@Jeroen-Bakker can you rename this task to correct it? Not sure if I should edit it myself or not -
BlenderKit really never created files when not enabled, it happens after registration, mostly through tests suite.

Perhaps we should close this as it has been validated to be incorrect.

Well some developers (@dr.sybren ) don't like that after activation (through tests suite) the addon creates directories, and I am actually just working on some fixes for it - that's why I only wanted to rename the task. I can also create a new one.
