Location of Cache and Settings80 folders
When you load a folder of images into C1, it creates a "Capture One" folder in that folder. In the "Capture One" folder are the "Setting80" and "Cache" folders. I don't want that Capture One folder created in the image folder. All only want the RAW files in that folder. Nothing else. Therefore, can I tell C1 to create the "Capture One" folder elsewhere? If so, how?

I don't think that is possible when using session. If you use a catalog with referenced files, all that information is stored in the catalog directory/database.

You could use a Catalogue with referenced files as suggested above. The source files can then be anywhere.
However I'm not a great fan of catalogues in any system (I was put off by LightRoom in Version 1 when I wanted to run other software alongside it and totally independently).
The benefit of having all the session folders in one place is that is is then very easy to move entire sessions around a system should one need to. Everything goes as one with the top level folder. (Unless you are managing things differently or not importing to the structure in the first place.
After several years of using software that works that way, not just Capture One and sessions, I'm quite comfortable with it. I may be missing something though so I am interested to understand your reasons for wanting to separate the source files and their related edit instructions, etc.
Looking forward to understanding,

Grant,
I have an office and a camera room in my studio. I shoot tethered from my Credo 60 to my laptop in my camera room. I do no processing on the laptop. It's only function is to capture the images tethered to my back and display them on a flat screen in the camera room. My laptop is hard wired to my local area network. I do all of my image processing in my office. After a shoot, I go to my office and "Ingest" the images from my laptop to my image processing machine using Photo Mechanic. I use PM because C1 doesn't offer the facilities I need to rename my files the way they need to be renamed. Else, I'd rename them at capture time. In Photo Mechanic, the "Ingest" function not only scans and copies all image files in the target folder (the folder on my laptop with the RAW files), but also all folders nested in the tree. CUrrently, PM offers no way to turn this off. Therefore, depending on how many images I've captured, it takes a little while before the images actually start appearing on my image processing machine because PM is traversing all the folders and files C1 has created on the laptop. Since I'm doing no processing on my laptop, I don't need anything the files in the Capture One folder. All it's doing is slowing down my ingest because PM needs to travel the entire tree structure and analyze all the files (are they images files, have I copied them before, etc) before it starts to copy them over the network to my image processing machine. That's why I want to get rid of that Capture One folder on my laptop.0
