Hi Nijeesh,
Thank you for the feedback.
The several folders are present in my c drive by default. I don't think i can do anything about it 🤔

And I agree, we should not initialize a project in C drive. When i was trying to deploy the file for the first time, i followed the official firebase tutorial. And being a newbie myself, I just went with the flow. But when i tried to intilize a real project in another Drive, it never worked for me.
An hour ago, I found the reason for this. Here it is

stackoverflow.com/questions/445498...

I will add this detail and update the post .. Thank you so much for pointing this out

There is no problem if you initialized the project in C-drive. in my notbook there is no other partition ( i haven't partitioned it ). So i put all my projects in the C-drive itself. i just organize everything based on the language or framework i use.

I was just wondering if there any reason you did it in windows32 directory specifically.

other than this, its a well explained article. good job.

What I did I opened a PowerShell as shown in the screenshot, ran the command and firebase created this public folder in windows32 automatically. I did not do anything except this. I would have to dig deeper for this.
Thank you for this question

what i do is i create a folder where i want my code to live somewhere in my drive.

Then just right click the newly created folder while holding down shift and select open with power-shell in the righ-click's menu.

so it open power-shell in the project directory. then you can initialize Firebase or any other application you want there.

its just easier for me to do it this way than navigating my way through the fs from windows terminal.

open powershell in directory
