I've seen a very few reports of this phenomenon, here and elsewhere.
It has been fixed by a variety of methods/tricks.
Try these (in order of least disruption to the user).
1. Transfer a recording into the offending folder (any recording from either the root or another folder). Go into File Manager and delete the folder. It should delete the folder & recording together; the folder should then not come back.
2. If 1.) does not work, your HDR's filesystem may have become corrupt, and you will start to see other signs such as duplicate recording names, recordings put into wrong folders, etc. Perform a Factory Reset & Disk Format. This will delete all of your current recordings stored on disk & also delete your scheduled Timers, as well as any optional settings you may have changed.
3. If 2.) does not work, then at least 2 cases have been reported where it took the procedure in 2.) to be performed twice to remove the corruption. i.e. Factory Reset -> Format -> Factory Reset -> Format.
What is the cause of filesystem corruption? Firstly, it's very rare. Possible causes could be switching the box off from the mains when it is deleting or recording, or a power surge/spike/cut.
HTH.
