Empty folders keep reappearing after every check-in

Summary

I have been having an issue for about 2 months where after every check-in, all old empty folders within the folder with the little person icon reappears. I have been trying to delete these empty folders, even move them all into their own folder, or renaming them to something like “UNUSED”, but no, they all go to their original folder names. I don’t know what could be causing these folders to reappear, it only started happening after an update a few months back. I had my friend try to delete the folders too on their PC, but they still reappeared after the check-in. Like I said, ALL EMPTY FOLDERS, NO ASSETS INSIDE THEM!
