I am writing about this problem as I searched through for a solution
and I could not find a proper solution. Here I am writing a non
confusing solution.
What Does not Work ?
First thing you will notice is right clicking only gives you three options Cut, delete and Create Shortcut, so there is not much that can be established with that. Every time the folder is deleted it will come back once you refresh the desktop or press F5. There are many things that do not work which include using various registry cleaner software like Ccleaner.
Reason for the problem
The reason is the installation or un-installation of Office products (2013, 2016 etc).
Solution / What works and what to do ?
Make sure to back up your registry and create a restore point before you start.
Open your File Explorer / my computer and then navigate to desktop folder here.
You will see the No Name folders here, just click on the folder and in the details you can see the folder name.
NOTE -
Repeating myself - Make sure to back up your registry and create a restore point before you start.
Playing with registry is dangerous so I am not liable for anything that goes wrong because of your actions.

- For me and for many others one of the names was {0875DCB6-C686-4243-9432-ADCCF0B9F2D7} and the other folder name was {138508BC-1E03-49EA-9C8F-EA9E1D05D65D}
- Now press Windows and R button and type regedit and press enter.
- Now search for 0875DCB6-C686-4243-9432-ADCCF0B9F2D7. Find each and every key and values that are returned with the exact same value and delete those. Repeat the process by searching for 138508BC-1E03-49EA-9C8F-EA9E1D05D65D and deleting the entries.
- Refresh the Desktop. the folders would be gone.
