Why do some folders automatically appear in the Documents folder? My Documents folder often fills up with folders of type "0e" "03" "da" "e7" for no apparent reason. I delete them but others appear after a while, what is the reason and how can I fix it (using Sonoma 14.1.1 Apple M2 2022 and latest version for MacBook Air 2017, it happens in both).

Folder Icons appearing as blank documents After replacing the files: SidebarGenericFolder.icns , GenericFolderIcon.icns and GenericOpenFolderIcon.icns with different colored files in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources (SIP disabled and as a root user) I've had all of my blue folders change to blank documents as their icon. What can I do to reverse this or make them appear as the .icns icon I attempted to replace them with?
