Bug Description

When external storage is plugged in at shutdown, the mount point folder remains in /media, causing several new mount points to be created. After a few reboots, /media contains something like

diskname
diskname_
diskname__
diskname___
diskname____
etc.

To the best of my knowledge, this started a few days ago with an update.

A temporary solution is to unmount the drive and delete these folders before shutdown, but they should be automatically removed by the system before shutdown.
