It shouldn't do that.   How did you install?  On a silent install it might take

quite a while before "QGIS 3.42.1" is created and files appear.



So there's a chance that you thought the install was done, mistook an existing installation in Q with the new one that was still ongoing (the directories in Q should have a timestamp from install time).
