GitHub Desktop - Cloning Issues #7

@ghost

Description

Hello, I have a pretty weird problem with my GitHub Desktop. Every time I clone a repo from GitHub, it's telling me that "the destination path already exists and is not an empty directory, Would you like to retry cloning?"

Expected behaviour
The repo should just be cloned into my C:\Users\Username\Documents\GitHub directory as it usually did since a few days ago.

Actual behaviour
The problem is, if I manually copy the path of the repo on my local machine and paste it into the destination + manually copy the address of the repo from GitHub after clicking clone, it works 9/10 times. But if I just click on the clone with GitHub desktop button, it throws that error

Can someone help solve this? I reinstalled after clearing the GitHub cache twice and nothing helps, not even changing the path. I've read somewhere that it's because there is a "hidden .git" file/directory somewhere in the directory where I'm trying to clone, but that is not the case, I don't see any hidden files.

Thanks in advance!
