Subfolder in controller prefixes Url.Action

Question

I have next structure:

Controllers
   Epic
     PmController.cs
   HomeController.cs

in my App_Start\\RouteConfig.cs I added: Update - added full method

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
  routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

  routes.MapRoute(
      name: "Epic",
      url: "Epic/{controller}/{action}",
      defaults: new { controller = "Pm", action = "Index" }
  );
  routes.MapRoute(
      name: "Default",
      url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
      defaults: new { controller = "Default", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
  );
}

But somehow @Url.Action is always prefixed with "Epic". I'm using @Url.Action in other views/controllers like this:

<a href="@Url.Action("Links", "Home")">Links</a></li> // generates /Epic/Home/Links instead of just /Home/Links

LInks worked ok before adding this subfolder and route.

Additionally is it ok to use subfolders in Controllers or always use Areas .

Seems like you removed the default route, just add it again in your RouteConfig file:

routes.MapRoute(
            "Default",                                              // Route name
            "{controller}/{action}/{id}",                           // URL with parameters
            new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }  // Parameter defaults
        );
