# Required​Directories

**Deprecated:**

This check only exists in Theme Check `v1.X.X`.

Identifies when a theme is missing a [required directory](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture#directory-structure-and-component-types).

***

## Auto-correction

Theme Check can correct this error using the `--auto-correct` flag. When the flag is specified, Theme Check creates the missing directories.

***

## Disabling this check

This check is safe to [disable](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/tools/theme-check/configuration), and is disabled by default when you run the Shopify CLI [`build`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/shopify-cli/app/app-build) command on an app that contains a theme app extension.
