Student assignments copied to public "unfiled" folder

My class involves a lot of video assignments, submitted as media recordings. This last week all student assignment submissions have also started appearing in an "unfiled" folder under Files. Not only is this quickly taking up all of the course site's memory, but students are able to see everybody's assignment uploads. If I set the unfiled folder to be not visible to students, the next submission will just create a new folder (unfiled 2) which is also public. Is anyone else experiencing this? Why are private student assignments suddenly viewable to the entire class?

Update 3:30 PST: I reached out to our customer care team and they responded:

 I connected with our support and engineering organizations and it looks like the fix was just deployed to beta and production to address the bug. That means no additional student media recorder submissions should be going into the unfiled folder.

I have tested this in my own instance in two courses and confirmed that yes indeed the issues seems to be resolved.
