Description
Hello, whenever I use the run_sorter() method with the options 'mountainsort5', 'spykingcircus2', 'tridesclous2', or 'herdingspikes', I consistently encounter the error message 'Folder xxx_output already exists'.
I noticed that the path parameter in run_sorter() is set to the default value, and there are no existing files in the specified path.
It appears that there might be a bug occurring during the folder creation process.
Would you mind taking a look at this issue and possibly resolving it? Thank you for your assistance!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through run_sorter() with mountainsort5, spykingcircus2, tridesclous2, or herdingspikes, using the default path. Trace the folder creation process for the reported output directory and verify that a valid empty path no longer produces the "Folder xxx_output already exists" error.
