Strange "library" folder in iCloud Documents folder

Today I noticed a new folder called "Library" in my iCloud Documents folder. When I try to open it, a pop-up message appears saying "The folder “Library” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."


As far as I can tell, there isn't anything in the folder, since the folder info shows 0 KB.


Does anyone know how this happened and is it safe to delete this folder?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
