I have the default apps and Adobe Creative Suite. My Mac is very light and simple but this strange "library" folder started to appear seconds after restarting. I have to delete it every time.
Is it normal. Adobe?
Thanks in advance.

I also have the same, a Library folder with no access appeared in my Documents folder, creation date was 3rd March at 13.51 - coincidentally, this was the exact time that I installed the latest Apple Security Update for 10.14.6 (Mojave), so I believe that was responsible for creating it.
It appears to be an empty folder, but as I can't open it I can't be 100% sure.
Hopefully, this will be deleted by Apple next time they do a Security Update on Mojave. Makes me a bit nervous, though, as it could be used by malware? Maybe it was supposed to be a hidden folder? Either way, it appeared straight after installing the latest Security Update (2021-003, I believe)
I don't believe in this case Adobe are responsible, although they are responsible for a lot of other mistakes! This all points to Apple, or so I believe.
I have this new Library folder too now. Another thread recommended uninstalling Adobe Creative Cloud, trashing that Library folder, restarting the Mac, and reinstalling Creative Cloud. Didn't work. As soon as I reinstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app, the Library folder reappeared in my Documents folder.
Either this is just a new item we have to live with, courtesy of Adobe, or they'll move/hide it based on user feedback. Either way, not worth the trouble to delete and reinstall Creative Cloud.
And BTW, I'm running Catalina still, so it's apparently not specific to a certain macOS.
If someone has another solution, please let me know. Thanks.
Yes! I just updated Adobe Creative Cloud on my old MacBook Air and the "Library" folder appeared.
It was this Apple update that seems to have created it after it restarted, copied and pasted from the System Information utility...
macOS Mojave Security Update 2021-002:
Version: 10.14.6
Source: Apple
Install Date: 03/03/2021, 13:42
The creation date and time on mine is 03/03/2021, 13.51 - the time it actually restarted after the update.
...and maybe (it's only a speculation) it's indeed related to Adobe:

I've no explanation for this library folder. You're not alone, though:
Are you using Adobe products?
Thanks for the link! =)
Yes, I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed on my Mac.
