No samples folder after git clone

[BrazilForever11]

I execute:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples.git

cd BotBuilder-Samples

but then there is no samples folder.

@BrazilForever11 - Which OS are you using? If it is Windows, can you try cloning the repo further up the directory tree (including trying the root directory)? You may be running into a long file name issue where the target directory plus the cloned path is causing it to fail in creating the 'samples' folder.

I am on Win 11. How can I clone further up the directory tree?

I just re-cloned and noticed error messages (here is one of them):
error: unable to create file archive/samples/csharp_dotnetcore/52.teams-messaging-extensions-search-auth-config/DeploymentTemplates/DeployUseExistResourceGroup/parameters-for-template-AzureBot-with-rg.json: Filename too long

@BrazilForever11 - Which ever directory/folder you are in is the repo will be cloned into. So, if you are in c:\users\[user-name]\documents, then it will clone into your documents folder. If you enter into the root directory of the C drive (c:\), then the repo will be cloned there. Give it a go and let me know if it fixes the issue.
