Description

🐛 Describe the bug

Normally, when downloading the fashion-mnist dataset, two folders are created, namely raw and processed.
In the latest torchvision version (0.10.1), only raw is being created and no error is being raised.

Steps to reproduce:

import torchvision
torchvision.datasets.FashionMNIST(root=".", download=True, train=True)
Versions

I verified this issue on two different machines.
Version 0.9.1 provides the two folders, whereas 0.10.1 does not.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the FashionMNIST download with torchvision 0.10.1 using the Python snippet in the issue, then compare its behavior with version 0.9.1. Trace the FashionMNIST dataset implementation and determine why only the raw directory is created; done means the expected processed directory is created without errors.
