The kde default explorer dolphin does.

It creates them at the root of separate partitions (or maybe only network mounts).

Basically as a fallback to moving it slowly into a local trash.

You probably have the system mounted elsewhere and are accessing it remotely with dolphin would be my guess.

Last time I encountered it I found no good solution, it’s very anyoing.

Best workaround is to create a file of the same name as the folder, that way at least it stays empty.

I’ve seen some programs put their shit in ~/Documents which is even worse.

This nonsense is why I’ve never set my XDG_HOME_DIRS to their actual values. A convenient button in file browsers isn’t worth the intrusion.
