I don’t know how it happened, but you can’t delete those folders from an SSD you formatted.

I verified it remains active, usually I enable this during a new system startup. It's a good idea to double-check other settings too.
There seems to be a specific concern about storage space and folder management. Empty folders use minimal space, but you still choose where to download files. With smaller SSDs, having duplicate folder names on different drives made it easy to switch drives during installation. The Program Files folder is treated as a system directory, so Windows can regenerate it if it's missing.
Strongly advised against it. I also once covered costs for some of their offerings.
