Yes, there is a way to delete these "temp" folders and prevent them from coming back.
Firstly, make sure that you close all the running programs on your computer. This will ensure that the files in the "temp" folder are not being actively used by any program.
Next, you can delete the contents of the "temp" folder by following these steps:
1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the "temp" folder in your Documents or C drive.
2. Press Ctrl + A to select all the files and folders in the "temp" folder.
3. Press the Delete key on your keyboard to delete all the selected files and folders permanently.
However, it's important to note that some of these files may be in use by Windows or other programs, and they may not be able to be deleted. In this case, you should skip those files and move on to the next one.
To prevent these "temp" folders from showing up in the future, you can use a tool like CCleaner to clean up your computer's temporary files and folders automatically. This tool will scan your computer for temporary files and remove them safely, without affecting any important files or programs.

No, its just an empty temp folder.
If the "temp" folder is empty, then there's no need to worry about it taking up any significant amount of space on your computer. However, Windows may create the "temp" folder again in the future as it is a normal part of the operating system's functioning.
If you want to remove the empty "temp" folder to keep things tidy, you can do so by following these steps:
1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the location where the "temp" folder is located (likely in your Documents or C drive).
2. Right-click on the "temp" folder and select "Delete".
3. If prompted, click "Yes" to confirm the deletion.
That's it! The empty "temp" folder should now be removed from your computer. However, it's important to note that Windows may create a new "temp" folder again in the future as part of its normal functioning. In general, if you notice that the "temp" folder is taking up a significant amount of space on your computer, it may be a good idea to use a tool like CCleaner to remove temporary files and free up space on your hard drive.
Almost anything could be creating for directory for one reason or another. If it's an empty directory I'd personally just ignore it. If you're set on stopping it you'll need to determine what is creating it and see if there is an option to stop it (sometimes there is not)
You can download and run procmon with a filter of
Path = The full directory path AND
Operation = CreateFile
If you delete it and get an entry you should have your answer on what is creating it
