Description
On Windows, .NET 6 is putting application data directly in the user profile at `$env:userprofile\.dotnet`. This violates Microsoft recommendations for Windows operating systems and should be moved to the recommended locations.
A selection of recommended storage locations are
- ApplicationData (roaming)
- LocalApplicationData (non-roaming e.g., Local/LocalLow)
- CommonApplicationData (non-roaming)
- CommonProgramFiles (non-roaming)
