im facing this problem and I dont know what to do. We import a project from git to Intellij, and when we execute mvn clean install, maven start creating all dependencies folders on our project root. This only happpends on one of our PCs, and we have no idea why:

Any idea about how to solve this? Thanks! Update with settings.xml

This sounds like maven is configured to use the project root/the current directory as the location for the local repository.

Check settings.xml in ~/.m2, possibly rename it and try again.
