Miscellaneous Folder on my desktop

There is a folder named miscellaneous on my desktop and it has a bunch of other folders inside it which are all empty. It has been there since a few months and it has not done anything or interfered on my tasks. Whenever i delete it, i keeps coming back. How do i get rid of for good? Pictures of it are attched.
