Delphi 12 and *.dsv

[Shrinavat 14]

I recently installed RAD Studio 12 Pro with Delphi. Now a ProjectName.dsv file is being created in the project folder. What is this, and how can I disable the creation of this file? Here's what its contents look like for example:

In my opinion It's not a standard Delphi file, you've installed something that creates them. I am using VCL and tried to create an empty fmx file none has produced a file with a dsv extension.

The docs explains it:

Quote

File used to save the current state of views before closing a project when the Save editor views state when closing tabs is enabled on Tools > Options > IDE > Saving and Recovering.

The source of the docs quoted by Uwe: File Extensions of Files Generated by RAD Studio - RAD Studio (embarcadero.com). This topic comes up in a search of the Athens online help for dsv but not in the help for previous versions.
