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

So Apple has nothing to do with this folder. It's an Adobe trick. See here for more info.

I had a look at this and gave myself permission, when I opened the folder I saw a folder called logs that was empty

I think its safe to remove :)

Hey all, I just found the same folder -- its got a creation date of Mar 4

Is there any info around the origination of the folder? Any guidance?

Thanks

Yes. As mentioned a couple time in this thread, it's created by Adobe Creative Cloud.
