Getting motion files saved in 2 places?

I have set up Yawcam to do motion detection and save the images on F:\, a large external hard drive.
It works fine and they appear on F:\ but they also get saved in "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\.yawcam\motion" as well, obviously this is a duplication of the same images.

Any ideas why? I cant find any setting for motion, or for any other file creation that isn't pointing to F:

I'm not on a computer with yawcam right now to check it, but I think those
are the thumbnails you see in the event list at motion detection's window.
If you clear that list, those images should go away.

That's correct.
You can however disable saving of the thumbnails in the settings for the motion detector.
Have a look in the help:
http://www.yawcam.com/help/help_motion_set.php

and try the option "Don't save motion events in list".
