How do I maintain a new directory after .ioc code genertion?

[robmilne]

I'm trying to maintain a directory structure in my CubeIDE project that contains an import of a third party repository, however the directory is erased when I regenerate the drivers after saving changes to the .ioc file.  I'm using Azure RTOS which conveniently creates a 'Middlewares' directory inside which I added a new directory called 'Third_Party'.  Sometimes the ioc build leaves it alone, but most times it does not.  Is there a way to prevent erasure of the directory?

Put the folder in the top-level directory rather than under Middlewares.
