Reproduce the bug:

Enabled Gravatar ( User pictures was disabled )
Then Run Cron ( gives a message to enable user pictures under Account Settings )
Enable User pictures as stated the the Cron report
Set a path for storing user pictures, i set it as: [current-user:name]\media\resumepic ( I was expecting it to be a private file system )
Now i am unable to disable the user pictures from account settings ( even after disabling Gravatar )

Is there a way i can do this by going to the database?

I tried deleting the value for drupal user_picture_path in variables table, but it didnt help

it keeps on saying

The directory public://[current-user:name]\media\resumepic does not exist or is not writable.
The settings have not been saved because of the errors.

This is crippling my website too. Has there been any fix? I'm getting this error and cannot change the value or disable user pictures altogether:

The directory public://public://members/[user:field_last_name]-[user:field_first_name]/profile/ does not exist or is not writable.
