Sublime Text 3 deleted my folder under /Packages

I added a plugin to Sublime Text 3 via github.

This creates a folder in my Packages folder. The problem: when I restart sublime, it automatically deleted this folder.

How to avoid this?

I found that simply remove the file package-metadata.json in your package folder will prevent Sublime Text delete your package folder under Sublime Text\Packages when restart. Please try.

Basically this happens when you install a package manually. The package becomes orphaned, means there is a package-metadata.json file in the package but it is not installed in Installed Packages directory.

enter image description here

To fix it, browse the package for package-metadata.json file, rename or delete the file before moving it to Packages directory.

This seems to happen if you manually install a package instead of using Package Control. To fix, open your Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings file and add the package that is auto deleted.

I found the answer by myself while browsing the sublime docs:

I have to add it into the Packages/User folder, this is the place where sublime will never delete something.
