Sounds like the OS is put together with duct tape if deleting an empty folder can break things so easily
Deleting random stuff from your system that the OS put there, because "it's empty so surely it is fine", is generally not a recipe for success.
Neither is putting random system files/folders in the C: drive outside of where they need to be, like in the Windows folder
