After cloning a repository, a folder keeps getting placed on my desktop

I am running Win10 and cloned a repository:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/mmp/pbrt-v3/

Since then a folder named "pbrt-v3-master" keeps appearing on my desktop, I have no use for that folder.

I don't need to be in sync with this repository all the time; just a one time deal.

How do I stop this folder appearing? Simply deleting it does not solve my problem.

Thanks in advance

This folder is the clone of the repository pbrt-v3. The reason it's created on your desktop is probably because when you run git clone... you're in the Desktop directory. If you don't want it on your desktop, run git clone from a different directory.

It will not automatically sync with the github repo. You can sync with that repo manually by running git pull in that directory.
