I keep getting this folder with a weird folder name back into my trash every time I delete it. Whenever I delete it, I can also see the iCloud sync status updating on the sidebar.

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.1
I had the same issue. I use iCloud Drive on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. Two folders I deleted kept reappearing. Tried deleting them, force deleting them and deleting them online at iCloud. Nothing worked. I had been trying to do this on my Mac and iPad only + iCloud without success. Then finally, I opened iCloud Drive on my iPhone as well and deleted them on the iPhone. That seems to have worked. Perhaps somehow they weren't deleted in my iPhone. All I know is, so far they've not returned. Could be that if you have multiple devices, that iCloud on one of them may be the cause of this issue.

Have you tried to empty the trash, restart your Mac and see if the issues persist
Same thing (all devices in IOS 18.2 and MACOS in 15.2), I tried delete online, nothing...
Also tried delete in iCloud.com...
Also tried to delete/restart...
Same thing for all tentatives... After few minutes those files/folder are there again.
I tried it twice now, and it still comes back. Also, I put it back in the original location, and it comes from the main iCloud Drive folder.
Why does my deleted folder keep reappearing on my MacBook Air?
