Error log folder location and OLA's SQL maintenance solution

Looking at one of our dev sql servers, it has a -e startup parameter to define the error log folder at this location : E:\DATA\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG. However, only E:\DATA\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL exists on disk. I can see Ola's SQL maintenance output files on disk at E:\DATA\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log Who / what is responsible for creating the error log folder as defined by the -e startup parameter? Does OLA's maintenance solution have a fallback if it can't find the log folder defined with -E startup parameter?
