I think that the new Media Location that you have to choose when you create a project is confusing. Nothing indicate that it's the location where will be put the media generated by DaVinci Resolve. For a newbie, it may look like it's the place where you should put all you media files or maybe that the media files you import will be copied in this folder. Anyway, its confusing. I think that "Generated Media Folder" would be a much more explicit name.
