Hi,
Thank you for the reply, I double checked and did not see any settings anywhere to ignore Download Manager, that is a shame and not good for websites with large libraries of downloads.
I will contact WP Optimize tomorrow and report back what they say. I hope this is an issue that can be resolved by them or you all.
In the mean time I am thinking of moving my download library folder to the root of the Public_HTML folder and see if it does or does not delete it located there being that is at the root of the site and not under any WP directory. I will also report back on my findings for that.
Thank you,
Shane.
