So I'm pretty much slow on the uptake for most stuff but I've had 2 'Sports Interactive' folders installed in my Documents folder by each new FM game since FM 2016, one of which has more folders inside than the other, (ie, 'asking prices' folder, 'crash dump' folder plus others). Is this normal?

To be sure which one is to be used for graphics etc, just check which of them has saved games installed in it 😉

Thanks both of you. Never really been worried by it as I've always installed the name fix correctly. I guess I'm just now getting around to asking 'why 2'. For what purpose is the 2nd SI folder? Can I delete it safely? Will it just be replaced by future SI updates?. Like I said, a bit slow...

As with many questions in life, we don't really know why and there is little practical benefit to concerning oneself with such imponderable queries 😉
