Cannot change build directory!

$

I am trying to move my build directory to outside of my project. (I don’t want to version control my build files and for whatever reason, I can’t simply ignore the build files.) I tried changing the Default Build Directory in Options>Build & Run. I can successfully change this directory but the build files are still created in the project folder (not the directory I specified.) Next I tried changing the debug and release build paths in the ProjectName.pro.user file. I save these changes and rebuild. The files are AGAIN created in the project folder (not the directory I specified.) What’s worse is that if I save these changes to the user file and close the project, then re-open it. The build locations in the user file are CHANGED BACK to directory I DO NOT want them in. This is incredibly frustrating. Any suggestions? Note: I am deleting the build files in between trying. They are completely generated from scratch in the location I do not want.
