I just noticed a home directory in the public_html folder created about 10 days ago 755/644 on all, white page index.html file in there too, and when I drill down in it the path follows something like:
http://site_name.com/home/site_root/new_dir/other_new_dir/thumb_image_cache.jpg
What is odd is that the path:
/new_dir/other_new_dir was created in the site_root to keep files off the web like might be found in the tmp dir.
My instict is to delete it, but trying to understand how it got there. Could an extension create a path automatically if it had an asset it did not like being in the site_root? Sounds crazy just typing the question out.
Any input/feedback appreciated.
