Steps to reproduce bug:
  1. Create a folder in a ModBuddy project.
  2. Drag and drop the folder to its own location.

Now if you look in the project folder, ModBuddy recursively created dozens of folders until Windows blocked it from going further. This can create hundreds of megabytes of data. It frequently happens when I accidentally miss the scrollbar separating code from the project tree, and grab a folder instead.

I believe this bug has existed since Civ 5's release.

Windows 7 can have trouble deleting this folder structure from the root node, so start at the lowest node you've opened and work your way up from there. Otherwise I get the error message, "You need permission from an admin to perform this action."
