Have you set Origin to install games to another drive? Check that drive for your Origin Games folder if so.
Community AdminNo, there shouldn't be a need for that, but thanks for offering.
One thing that might be worth trying is to restart with a Clean Boot and temporarilty disable your anti-virus. This is to check if any 3rd party program or security software is preventing the game from writing to the C drive:https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/kb/929135
Another step would be to try creating a new Windows profile. You can then play the game, and see if the Battlefield 1 folder gets created.
