Windows already has a folder for program data, it's called AppData, it even has 3 subfolders depending on how you want it stored. Problem is that software developers are fucking retarded and put their shit everywhere except there. There's also Saved Games but literally nobody has ever used it in the history of Windows.

Linux has the same problem.

Anyone using MS 'Special Folders' for fucking anything needs their head examined. Profile fucks up or whatever, these are invariably the first folders to vanish.

When AI first started getting popular I was running a local model for image generation and like a week later my main drive was out of storage. Turned out it had written like 300gb of cache shit into the appdata folder.
