EA SPORTS FC™ TeamThe same happens when you install EA Desktop on the C:\ drive @PFindersDomain.
WHY the extra folder is in there, that I do not know, but I'm pretty sure that there is a logic behind it.
Any specific reason why you are raising this, as in it's causing issues, or just curious?
I have install a number of Game clients, even the Origin client did not have a double install folder. See attached.
This is really annoying. Hope they will fix this as soon as possible.
In the meanwhile I have found a fix which worked for me:
- Close EA Desktop App in Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL)
- Move the EA Desktop folder to the desired location.
- Remove EABackgroundService in Windows Services:

- Install a new EABackgroundService:
