Change of user folder

Projects General Guidance

Hi,
I have a massive noob issue related to Arduino IDE, and I believe it's due to my very local name which includes an "ø" . I get below errors when trying to push the code to my ESP8266. I have installed Arduino for all users to not have in my user folder, and I have changed sketch folder for the same, but things seem still to run from user folder.

default_encoding:       cp1252
Assume aggressive 'core.a' caching enabled.
Note: optional global include file 'C:\Users\ChristianFrankS�rens\AppData\Local\Temp\.arduinoIDE-unsaved20231026-16928-yfgnyl.robsd\Blink\Blink.ino.globals.h' does not exist.

Even if you changed the Sketchbook location, Arduino IDE still used your user directory as location of its setup and service folders. The only way to avoid this - change your user name to latin-only characters and reinstall the IDE for a new user.
