Creating a new project gives "The specified project location folder already contains some files. Please specify an empty or non-existing folder" warning message in Trados Studio.

If you create a project in Trados Studio and you do not have the Location Path > Autofill option enabled and the location of the new project contains other folder you will get this warning message. A new project needs to have an empty folder for it to be created properly.

There are two options to stop receiving this warning message:

1. If you have the Autofill option enabled at the Location Path.
2. If you don't have that option enabled then you need to create a folder that has nothing inside.
