Every time I view a video in Lightroom 4, it creates an empty folder in ~/Documents called 'Adobe' with the folder 'dynamiclinkmediaserver' inside. This is very annoying because I would like to keep my Documents rid of useless folders. Is there any way to prevent this folder from being created? Whenever I delete it, the folder comes back.

Adobe Media Encoder Verbindet Nicht Mit Dynamic Link Server
When you start Photoshop CS6 opens a background process dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe. I do not see why this is here. It creates an empty folder 'Adobe dynamic link media server 6.0' in 'My Documents'. I hate it when programs create folders within 'My Documents' without asking me! What makes dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe? Why do I need it?
fixer1234Nov 10, 2017 I have a similar problem when I play a slideshow on Lightroom Classic CC using my MacBook Pro; if I close the program, re-launch, the slideshow plays; but then it may stop, and when I try to play it again I get the 'Dynamic Link Media Server failed to launch' message; I have re-installed the program several times, and used the cleaning tool.

This has annoyed me for a while too! On my hunt for a solution, i found this post and thought i'd post the solution i've come up with to tackle it.
We can't get Adobe to put the folder anywhere else (i.e. /Library/...), but we can hide the folder by changing the
chflags
.Type the following into the terminal to hide the folder. (It'll still be there, just hidden.)
chflags hidden ~/Documents/Adobe
If for whatever reason, you want it visible again, just do this:
chflags nohidden ~/Documents/Adobe

The issue is also dicsussed here and here without solutions but where you can track the issue. At the last link you can vote for the issue.
The only solution for getting a clean-looking Documents folder back is marking the Adobe folder as invisible using Windows Explorer.
