Description

I had created the folder path
/tmp/5
and inside several folders named with the disk name.
Disk names was X68000 dim.
Correctly created m3u files inside subfolders.
Started Retroarch and selected load content was selected
/tmp/5/gamename/gamename.m3u
After I had selected wrong core being "Commodore PUAE Amiga".
Retroarch was closed and /tmp/5 was totally deleted all subfolders and files.

Used Retroarch 1.9.14.

Research direction

The report names RetroArch 1.9.14, a .m3u file, the Commodore PUAE Amiga core, and /tmp/5, but no source file or test. First reproduce the deletion with the described folder layout and wrong-core selection. Done means confirming the cause and preventing unrelated files and subfolders from being removed.
