Random Folders Generating on my Desktop (MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)

for the past few days empty folders have been randomly appearing on my Desktop.


I try to delete them manually but then they keep appearing again


The folders are usually named numbers such as 1, 2, 3, .... up to many numbers, but also come in 2-digit combinations of numbers and letters such as 2a 7a 3c ...

How can I fix this issue so that my desktop can properly function again?

I tried to do the Boot mode but it slowed my laptop and it start lagging even that i have the most recent update macOS

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

Yes Spotify App is the problem. Few days ago, I noticed from the folders that was adding by pressing on "Get info" most of the time was pictures from songs on Spotify. Whenever I opened the app or if it was on my desktop opened this folders was adding non-stop. I deleted the Spotify App and the problem stopped.
