Random Folders & Files popping up on desktop

Hello,

Recently I was trying to clear up space so I am really hoping I didn't delete anytime important. A bunch of these type of folders are popping up on my desktop. Does anyone know what they are? Is it possible I deleted something I shouldn't have? Are they safe to delete? If not, is there a specific place I can move them to? Can I set up a way to automatically move them?


Thanks


MacBook

Hello,


I have been trying to create space on my computer by clearing out files using OmniDiskSweeper. I tried to be careful with what I was deleting because I know certain files should not to be messed with. I deleted things that I did not think I needed anymore, especially files from downloads that I have deleted, but still have the files for. So I'm not sure if that is a possible reason as to why these folders are popping up, or if they are from something else.
