Texture files no longer appearing in McreatorWorkspaces files

I've updated to 2020.3, and have added a few things to my mod. I usually delete the files that I upload to my mod after importing them, and clear the bin. (i dunno ocd i guess). When I want to edit a texture I usually take it from the workspace folder and then put it back.

Ever since the update they are no longer being stored there, yet mcreator is still using that folder. When I open the workspace from the file, it has all the new textures, yet they are not physically there in the textures folder. It's strange.
