Maybe is some software/game you install before and uninstalled.
The folder will be remain after software/game uninstalled.

maybe you need to check back what software/game you install before, some software/game use not the software/game name as folder.

Just don't. More than likely you are gonna come back and say you have problems with steam working. Just leave those folders created by steam alone. They are there for a reason.

Yes, it re-downloaded it because it needs it.
Don't go deleting random folder/ files, that's just a way for ♥♥♥♥ to stop working.

True most of the time, not for Steam. You can delete every file in your steam folder aside from the exe and the game folders themselves/ their manifest files and Steam will rebuild everything when you run the exe.
