why stm32cubeide create a metadata file in the workspace? it's not a good app design.

[VictorJee]

1.when i once change the workspace path, the ide always create a older folder in last path, and i still don't know why after i checked every config files in application support, preferences, container, also the app package. 

2. and what's more, i also use other ide, and use the same workspace folder ( i like),  ***, it also make a .metadata config file，that cause chaos.

That's the way Eclipse works: the Workspace folder is the location of the .metadata folder

Note that your Project files don't need to be in the Workspace folder.
