Why MAGIX soft scattered around many different places on HDD?

For example i found folder MxSynth in C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\MxSynth\ (6.4Гб)

and in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MAGIX Services\MxSynth\ (3Гб)

Folders named by instruments and all doubled. But with different size.

I can't understand this..

@denny7794 This is the new standard that Windows requires. Most directories are write-protected by Windows because security concerns.

Applications need to use special folders like C:\ProgramData\, C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData, C:\Program Files\Common Files\ etc.
