'bookmarks' file being persistently deleted, how to stop that action?

I'm having problems keeping my 'bookmarks' file when I close emacs. I'm
saving it in my '/home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/etc/' directory, but at some
stage in closing it gets deleted.

This is from my '.init.el' -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'bm)

(setq bookmark-default-file "/home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/etc/bookmarks")
(setq bookmark-save-flag 1)                        ;; autosave each change)
(bookmark-load bookmark-default-file t)

(setq bm-restore-repository-on-load t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How can I get it to stay there all the time please?

Thanks
Sharon.

It may be something wrong on your side.  I also set
'bookmark-default-file' and it is never deleted for me.  Or perhaps it
is related to this 'bm' package you use.

Here is what I have in my init file:

(with-eval-after-load 'bookmark
  (setq bookmark-save-flag 1
        bookmark-default-file ".../my-bookmarks"))
