    FYI, if you have a folder named YourGame, and you save your game project in YourGame folder,

    the path will actually be YourGame/YourGame/.....

    So be careful - this threw me off and it may throw you off too.

    It's recommended to the devs that a hint is shown that the game name will be generated to prevent a redundant , awkward folder.

    You can safely and easily move all the project files up one directory and delete that unneeded folder. This is the kind of mistake you make one time and learn from, and I'm not sure it'd benefit the community as a whole to add a warning message that pops up every single time you create a new project.

    This. Unity projects are incredibly resilient to moving about. Just drag the whole project folder where you want it.

    ah I didn't know I could move it all around .. I got some errors earlier, but in the end, it was coincidence that I just moved things :p and you're right, but we also don't want to scare off new people. The more the merrier :)
