I have mapped .minecraft folder via junction link to C:/Games/Minecraft/game folder, thus all of .minecraft content is actually located not in the user %appdata% folder, but in C:/Games/Minecraft/game folder. Also, C:/Games/Minecraft is used for Minecraft installation and had this structure:
/game - i have a junction link from .minecraft folder to this folder
/runtime
/tmp
/tools
-MinecraftLauncher.exe
So, whenever launcher is updading, game folder disappears and appears again, but with no content in it. So game is fully cleaned up.
Except for this, everything is working fine.
Please, fix.

Thanks for reply. Still, junction links should be working fine. It's a bug, than must be fixed.
P.S. Actually, this "workdir" method isn't so obvious as junktion link, so it's quite strange that this kind of bux exists.
Instead of the junction link, you can start the launcher using
--workdir C:/Games/Minecraft/gameand you can change the directory all Minecraft files are saved in inside of the launcher. This should fix the problem.
